I will be installing Baby Buddy manually - no Docker.
Install required system packages
apt install python3 python3-pip uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3 libopenjp2-7-dev libpq-dev nginx gitAt this point, the author wants us to install pipenv. The only way to install this is to use pip. In most cases, you don't want to use pip to install packages to the main OS - this could break the existing Python environment.
I'm going to create a venv to install pipenv, then run it out of there.
python3 -m venv /opt/pipenv
source /opt/pipenv/bin/activate
pip3 install pipenvCreate a new installation directory for BB
mkdir -p /var/www/babybuddy/data/mediaClone BB
git clone https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy.git /var/www/babybuddy/publicMove into the application directory (public)
cd /var/www/babybuddy/publicCreate and enter a Python environment
export PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1
/opt/pipenv/bin/pipenv install three
/opt/pipenv/bin/pipenv shellCopy the example config file to production.py
cp babybuddy/settings/production.example.py babybuddy/settings/production.pyIn production.py, set SECRET_KEY and ALLOWED_HOSTS
SECRET_KEY = "*****************************************"
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["127.0.0.1"]Initialize the application
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.production
python manage.py migrateSet permissions for the database and data directory
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/babybuddy
chmod 640 /var/www/babybuddy/data/db.sqlite3
chmod 750 /var/www/babybuddy/dataAt this point, you can exit the Python venv and return to your home directory
deactivate && exit
cdCreate and configure the WSGI server
vim /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.iniExample config:
[uwsgi]
plugins = python3
project = babybuddy
base_dir = /var/www/babybuddy
chdir = %(base_dir)/public
virtualenv = %(chdir)/.venv
module = %(project).wsgi:application
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%(project).settings.production
master = True
vacuum = TrueEnable (link) the WSGI config file to the enabled site directory, then restart the service
ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/babybuddy.ini
systemctl restart uwsgi.service
systemctl status uwsgi.serviceConfigure NGINX to proxy requests to the WSGI server
