Django/Python Support
Hi, I have been trying to install a django site onto my server which has plesk and it has taken me weeks and i have paid countless dollars to fix this. I believe you should offer this support or a type of application when it is installed automatically the same as if you click install wordpress you should have the option to click install "DJANGO".
Many Thanks

We have an article with an instruction how to set up django on Plesk server https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/plesk-and-django
So, now we would like to get a feedback what is the most critical things you need to manage with Plesk regarding django.

As I commented in another post, with the rise of AI, Python will significantly increase in popularity. Please add Python support out of the box.

I used the already mentioned tutorial here:
https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002701209-How-to-allow-installing-and-install-Django-applicationsTo activate WSGI support.
Once this is done, the Django application can just be deployed, restart Nginx and enjoy the application.
I work with Git and Ansible to deploy the application, install requirements and restart the Nginx server afterwards.
Since I have a dedicated domain in plesk for the app I also see it like any other site in the Websites & Domains overview.
Including traffic etc. -

How did you handle it?

We handled to deploy a django app. However, when it crashes, we must restart it manually.

I will end my Plesk licence in July 2022 if they don't bring Python and Django support ! What is tihs? This is the most popular proggramming lanuage in the world and you don't support it..

I haven't seen this support article referenced in this thread (maybe I missed it), but there is a very good article on installing a django application using Passenger here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002701209-How-to-allow-installing-and-install-Django-applications
I have installed several sites following this. It isn't for the feint, but it does work well. There probably can't be a one click and done for Django like there is for Wordpress, but there could be an interface that simplifies a lot of this setup: Include Python 3.6 or higher installed, include Passenger installed, and then a step through form to create the virtual environment, install Django, create the initial Django app, and create the passenger file, etc. You will still need to be able to run "python manage.py" from the command line.
Postgres is also preferred for Django in many situations, but the version of Postgres available on Plesk is too old to be supported by Django. You can install a current version, but a lot of work. I've been working on Centos 7, so perhaps other distros are a bit different.
Django is possible on Plesk but it sure would be nice if it was a lot easier!

I think Python support should be a top priority for Plesk, looking forward to seeing that soon.

The big problem with django deploy is it need another configurations, to bring it to production after you install in server. One of them is the static files configuration. So an installer like wordpress installer will be welcome.

Django & Python support please! 🙏
Currently, python 2.2 or more is not working anymore on CentOS 7.9, but working fine on Ubuntu 20 that I was tested. -
