please add django support

Please add Python Support to Plesk.

We need django on Plesk! We need django on Plesk! We need django on Plesk!

Django is nice, but Python has a much broader ecosystem and our customers want to deploy Python apps in general (e.g. FastAPI, Flask), not only Django.

In terms of what's important:
- Python version management (different apps on the same server need different Python versions, and the developer should be able to specify their required one without needing sysadmin intervention; for example just like it's easy to select a different PHP version from the Plesk UI)
- venv management / installation of dependencies (unfortunately the ecosystem is fragmented, so you have things like uv, pipenv, poetry with different toolchains preferred by different developers - unclear how to satisfy everyone / most people!)
- A good (modern) way to run python apps (e.g. nginx + gunicorn + supervisor)

Overall, yes it's currently possible to do all of these things on a Plesk server; but Plesk is not adding anything, so why pay for it? You can have the same (relatively painful) experience on a plain VM, but much cheaper.

As development tools move on so must applications like plesk, I develop flask and django applications. As developers move away from PHP to more modern development tools Im struggling to justify the expense of a plesk obsidian server. Perhaps a new product is called for ?

It is impossible to install django on Plesk.

Please address this issue quickly.

thanks :)

I spent 2 days to install djangocms, but without result, and the guide above don't work for me. I have a 503 response from the server despite the guide.

An app ready to work is the best solution.

.

I used the already mentioned tutorial here:
https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002701209-How-to-allow-installing-and-install-Django-applications

To 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..

very bad, Plesk doesn't care about Django !

I use Plesk Obsidian Web Host Edition Version 18.0.44 Update #2 anddddd my Django project doesn't work !!! very bad ! I tried every method but it doesnt work and gives 403 error. Anyone can help me ? I will be crazy...

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!

Thank You very much for the answer !

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