Django + Postgres starter

A real Django 5.2 project, live on its own URL in minutes: a guestbook with a model, a form and the Django admin, served by gunicorn with its static files built into the image. Settings come from the environment, migrations run on start and wait for the database instead of crashing, and the secret key takes care of itself. Deploying it creates a managed Postgres and connects it for you.

Managed Postgres Django Admin

One click creates the app and connects what it needs

  • A managed Postgres, bound as DATABASE_URL (Starter, €4.95/month)

The first deploy waits until it is ready, so the app starts connected. You can untick it before creating the app.

The source

This template is an ordinary public repository. Read it, fork it, or open a pull request against it. Deploying pulls its default branch and builds it the same way velixir builds your own code.

velixirnet/template-django-postgres

Once it is live

The template is just a starting point. Clone it, edit it, then ship over the top with the CLI:

velixir deploy

Or add the GitHub Actions workflow from the app's Deploys tab to your repo, and every push to your deploy branch ships a release. Both run the same pipeline this template just went through.
