## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At ungleich we run quite some amount of
|
|
|
|
|
[Django applications](https://www.djangoproject.com/), some for
|
|
|
|
|
ourselves, some on behalf of our customers. Most of them are currently
|
|
|
|
|
running "natively" on virtual machines. Our objectives are to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Slowly move our own workload into IPv6 only kubernetes clusters
|
|
|
|
|
* Slowly move our customer applications into IPv6 only kubernetes
|
|
|
|
|
clusters
|
|
|
|
|
* Offer modern Django Hosting based on Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Status 2021-12-19: initial design phase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment we are looking into what we require for running Django
|
|
|
|
|
applications inside Kubernetes. Some parts are still open, some are
|
|
|
|
|
already set:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* PostgreSQL as the database: this is our standard so far and we don't
|
|
|
|
|
plan to change it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Undefined at the moment:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Where/how to generate and serve static files
|
|
|
|
|
* Same container?
|
|
|
|
|
* Separate container?
|
|
|
|
|
* Backup sidecare
|
|
|
|
|
* Restic?
|
|
|
|
|
* pg_dump?
|
|
|
|
|
* media / upload files
|
|
|
|
|
* App server
|
|
|
|
|
* uwsgi
|
|
|
|
|
* (g)unicorn
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
### One container providing port 80
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The outside world does not need to know what is running inside
|
|
|
|
|
* Thus the django container should:
|
|
|
|
|
* Expose port 80
|
|
|
|
|
* Serve staticfiles on its own
|
|
|
|
|
* One can use *any* of the wsgi/asgi servers
|
|
|
|
|
* Will provide example for some of them
