Access DeployPRO

The service allows the registration using GitHub (no password required)

Connect DigitalOcean

In the connections page, users can connect to DigitalOcean via credentials.

If the operation is successfull, the connection to DigitalOcean is falled as active.

Create new Server

Before deploying the project, a deployment server needs to be created. This operation takes aprox. 5 minutes.

Once created, we can access the default page and also check out the details in our DigitalOcean account:

Server Information (DigitalOcean)

The server state can be also checked on DeployPRO.

Deploy Django

In this phase, the user needs to provide:

• the repository
• app name
• path to the Dockerfile
• the PORT exposed in Docker (execution entry point)
• the DeployPRO subdomain

Once the operation is confirmed, DeployPRO will analyze the input and update the repository with all the necessary scripts for the LIVE deployment.
