Hello Developers👨‍💻,
Are you trying to move your Django website from localhost to public URL for free, yes you heard it right, now you can do this by following some steps.

Steps

1. Make your Django Project with requirements.txt
2. Upload Project to GitHub
3. Deploy Project on pythonanywhere

Step 1: Make your Django Project with requirements.txt

• Create your Django App

django-admin startproject deploy_on_pythonanywhere

• Open project in your editor and under settings.py make:
  ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
  
• Create and Activate Virtual Environment Variable
  • for LINUX

    python3 -m venv env
    source env/bin/activate
    

  • for WINDOWS

    pip install virtualenv 
    virtualenv env
    env\Scripts\activate
    

• Creating requirements.txt
  • First install the dependencies of our project.
  • In this we have only one dependency which is Django, so let's install that

    pip install django
    

  • Navigate inside our project

    cd deploy_on_pythonanywhere
    

  • Create requirements.txt file using the command

    pip3 freeze > requirements.txt
    

  • File structure of our project looks like this:

    deploy_on_pythonanywhere
    ├── db.sqlite3
    ├── deploy_on_pythonanywhere
    │   ├── asgi.py
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── __pycache__
    │   │   ├── __init__.cpython-38.pyc
    │   │   ├── settings.cpython-38.pyc
    │   │   ├── urls.cpython-38.pyc
    │   │   └── wsgi.cpython-38.pyc
    │   ├── settings.py
    │   ├── urls.py
    │   └── wsgi.py
    ├── manage.py
    └── requirements.txt
    

• Let's Start our Django Server

cd deploy_on_pythonanywhere
python3 manage.py runserver

yahooooo, your server is running on localhost.. 🎉🎉
But wait, wait... that's not over, let's make it live for the world 🗺️.

Step 2: Upload Project to GitHub

• Source Code for Deployement

Step 3: Deploy Project on pythonanywhere

• Create an account on pythonanywhere Click Here
• After Register, you can see the page like this

• Now click on Console then select Bash you'll see like this

• Type following commands on bash:

  • Clone GitHub repo

    git clone https://github.com/Prakhar-Mangal/deploy_on_pythonanywhere.git
    

  • Now create and setup environment variables

    python3 -m venv env #create virtual environment
    source env/bin/activate #activate virtual environment
    cd deploy_on_pythonanywhere #navigate inside your project 
    pip install -r requirements.txt #installing dependencies using requirements.txt
    

  • Now copy the path of your directories which you installed on bash

  • Type command on bash

    cd
    ls # get list of directories
    pwd #copy the path for future use
    

    Here it's looks like:

  • 

Hurree, we set up our project successfully🥳🥳...
But wait wait, follow the final process and we're ready to go

• Now click on Web then select Add a new web app

  • 

• Click on next and follow the procedure

  • select django as the framework
  • Select python3.8 (latest) and click on next next till last.
  • Now under Web section open WSGI configuration file
    
  • Edit WSGI configuration file on line no. 12 and 17 remove the word mysite with your project name which you cloned from GitHub, in my case, it is deploy_on_pythonanywhere
    
  • Now it looks like this and then click on save:
    
  • Select Virtualenv section under Web:
    
  • Enter the path of Virtualenv as we created using bash (refer above pwd command for path)
