✅Project Overview

Today marks the beginning of my first project in this series: a Django To-Do List Application. This project involves creating a Django-based web app, containerizing it with Docker, setting up a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, and deploying it on an AWS EC2 instance.

---

✅Tasks Completed Today

1. Setting up the Project Repository

• Created a repository for the Django To-Do List project on GitHub.

• This repo will be the central location for all code and configurations.

2. Executing the Django Project in a Python Environment

• Installed Python and pip in the local development environment.

• Created a virtual environment and activated it.

• Installed Django and other required dependencies.

Commands:

# Clone the repository locally
git clone https://github.com/your-username/django-todo-list.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd django-todo-list

# Set up a virtual environment
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

# Install required dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the Django application locally
python manage.py runserver

Outcome: The Django application was successfully launched on http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

---

3. Creating an AWS EC2 Instance

• Launched an EC2 instance on AWS to host the project.

• Configured the instance with the appropriate key pair and security groups to allow HTTP (port 80) and SSH (port 22).

Commands:

# Connect to the EC2 instance via SSH
ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@<ec2-public-ip>

---

4. Cloning the Project Repository on the EC2 Instance

• Installed Git on the EC2 instance.

• Cloned the Django To-Do List project from GitHub to the EC2 instance.

Commands:

# Update the package manager and install Git
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install git -y

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/django-todo-list.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd django-todo-list

---

✅Future Tasks

• Write a Dockerfile: Containerize the Django application.

• Build a Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline: Automate deployment.

• Deploy on EC2: Ensure the app runs on the instance seamlessly.

---

✅Real-Life Scenario

This approach mimics how modern DevOps teams set up their workflows:

• Using version control for collaboration (GitHub).

• Containerization for consistency (Docker).

• CI/CD pipelines for efficiency (Jenkins).

• Cloud infrastructure for scalability (AWS).

---

✅What’s Next?

I’ll focus on writing a Dockerfile and setting up Jenkins for CI/CD in the next phase. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project journey! 🚀

🚀Thanks for joining me on Day 70! Let’s keep learning and growing together!

Happy Learning! 😊
