virtual hosts

jxe

i have a single django instance serving six domains from behind an apache vhost situation, and this has worked great for me for a long time. then my web host was bought by a nascar sponsor and everything is going down the tubes -- like for instance, they don't offer postgres 9.5 to go with their django 3.0 installer, so you would have to compile your own database on their server to use current software. among other things. so i would like to move my whole situation to opalstack, but the value plan has less memory than the 'other place', and i was wondering if anyone is using a setup like mine and if so can it be done with 512MB memory?

thanks for any advice, i am itchin' to jump ship.

jxe Our Django installer uses uWSGI instead of Apache. Here's an example of how to run multiple sites from a single instance, similar to virtual hosting in Apache: HOWTO run multiple Django sites under a single uWSGI instance

If you prefer Apache, we've an example of how to set that up here: HOWTO: run Django on Apache and mod_wsgi

We're presently running PostgreSQL 11.7 on our platform, so you should be good there.

Regarding your RAM requirements, you might be able to look at your Apache processes on your current host to see exactly how much RAM they're using. Once you know that, you'll know the type of plan you need.

i have no attachment to mod_wsgi if uWSGI will do the job. thanks for looking into it.

jxe I've updated my earlier reply with a link to an example.
