Chat with DjangoChannels and DRF

[Darwin Vasquez]

I'm trying to make a chat on real time for the web.

 I was playing  with Django-Channels, and it seems to me that works fine. 

But now, I'm not sure. I need to make the chat over an api on REST. 

For that, I will using DRF, and to render the data I would make the website on another instance.

So basically a api with DRF (that serves the chat, and store the messages) and a website (on django too) that render the data, (this on another  instance).

My Question is. Channels works for this case?. Where do I need to work the websocket, and Install django-Channels, Daphne and Redis? On the DRF or the website?. What is the aproach to do it? please some help.
