Django with Ubuntu Cloud

[Vibhu Rishi]

Hi,

Has anyone setup Django with Ubuntu Cloud ?

My primary interest is how to setup the media server. I am primarily using Heroku for the hosting of the project, but that does not provide hosting for the static / user uploaded files. So, I am looking at what alternatives I have. There are a lot of suggestions to use AWS. I also came across ubuntu cloud - but havent gotten much details if i can use it with ubuntu.

Thanks for your insights!

Hi Vibhu,

Everything I know about Ubuntu Cloud I learned from their homepage in the last couple of minutes --  but that website seems to suggest that Ubuntu Cloud is based on OpenStack. OpenStack is a generic API for cloud computing that is shared by a number of providers (most notably Rackspace, but there are others), so if Ubuntu Cloud uses OpenStack, then you just need to look for libraries that support OpenStack, and you should be able to use those libraries on Ubuntu Cloud.

If you're looking for an alternative to S3, then you want OpenStack Swift. There are Python libraries to talk to Swift stores, and there are Django file storage backends that will use Swift as well. 

Yours,

Russ Magee %-)

Django is a fairly flexible web framework. See read more about STATIC and MEDIA files in Django. The Ubuntu cloud API is documented here https://one.ubuntu.com/developer/files/store_files/cloud, you can interact with it using libraries like requests.

Hi,

Why not use S3 for storage? Then you can still keep heroku and don't have to make vast changes to your setup?

Regards,

Andréas

It requires a CC for sign up - even for the free mode. Can't use mine here and I don't want to get another CC.

So - I can use Ubuntu One ( which seems to be like Drop box if I understand it correctly ) as a media file storage?

Indeed you UO is like DB and you can use their APIs to programatically PUT and/or GET files on their system.
