Container Deployment

Pytigon can be deployed in containers using Docker or Podman for consistent, portable environments.

Docker Deployment

Basic Dockerfile

FROM python:3.12-slim

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["pytigon", "run", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000"]

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.8'
services:
  pytigon:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./projects:/app/prj
    environment:
      - DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=your_project.settings
      - DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@db:5432/pytigon
    depends_on:
      - db
      - redis

  db:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: user
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: pass
      POSTGRES_DB: pytigon
    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine

volumes:
  pgdata:

Podman Alternative

# Build image
podman build -t pytigon .

# Run with podman-compose
podman-compose up -d

# Or run standalone
podman run -d \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ./data:/app/data \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@host:5432/pytigon \
  pytigon

Configuration

Environment Variable Description
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE Django settings module path
DATABASE_URL Database connection string
REDIS_URL Redis connection for Channels/cache
SECRET_KEY Django secret key
ALLOWED_HOSTS Comma-separated allowed hosts
DATA_PATH Persistent data directory

Kubernetes

Pytigon can be deployed to Kubernetes using standard Django deployment patterns:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: pytigon
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: pytigon
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: pytigon
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: pytigon
        image: your-registry/pytigon:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8000
        env:
        - name: DATABASE_URL
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: pytigon-secrets
              key: database-url

Volumes

Critical directories to mount as volumes: - /app/data — User data and application files - /app/prj — Project source code and applications - /app/static — Static files (can be served by CDN/nginx)

For production deployments, serve static files through a reverse proxy (nginx, Traefik) and use a dedicated database and Redis instance.
