# Production Deployment Fixes Applied ## Issues Fixed ### 1. **Security: Exposed MongoDB Credentials** ⚠️ **Problem**: MongoDB username and password were hardcoded in `enise_site/settings.py` **Solution**: Moved credentials to environment variables via `python-decouple` - Credentials are now read from `.env` file (which is in `.gitignore`) - Updated `.env.example` with placeholder values ### 2. **Broken Startup Script** **Problem**: `app.py` had incorrect Django command invocation **Solution**: - Updated to use proper `execute_from_command_line(['app.py', ...])` instead of `'manage.py'` - Added better error handling with try-catch blocks - Added logging to track startup progress ### 3. **Missing run.sh Production Script** **Problem**: No proper shell script for production startup with migrations **Solution**: Created `run.sh` with: - Proper bash error handling (`set -e`) - Sequential startup steps: collect static files → migrations → start server - Better logging and status messages - Proper environment variable setup ### 4. **Static Files Not Served in Production** **Problem**: No middleware for serving static files in production **Solution**: - Added `WhiteNoiseMiddleware` to Django middleware stack - This enables Django to serve static files without a separate web server ### 5. **Invalid Package in requirements.txt** **Problem**: `gridfs>=1.0` doesn't exist on PyPI (GridFS is part of PyMongo) **Solution**: - Removed `gridfs>=1.0` - Updated Django version to `>=5.0` ### 6. **Configuration Issues** **Problem**: ALLOWED_HOSTS and CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS had no whitespace stripping **Solution**: - Updated to strip whitespace: `[h.strip() for h in ALLOWED_HOSTS]` - Added `*` to ALLOWED_HOSTS default for HF Spaces compatibility ### 7. **Dockerfile Command** **Problem**: Dockerfile tried to run `python app.py` which has complex Django setup **Solution**: Updated to use `./run.sh` for proper production startup ## Environment Variables Required (HF Secrets) Set these in Hugging Face Spaces → Settings → Repository Secrets: ``` # Core Django Settings DEBUG=False SECRET_KEY= ALLOWED_HOSTS=* CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https:// # Appwrite Configuration APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID= APPWRITE_API_KEY= APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID=enise_db # MongoDB (if using) MONGO_DB_HOST= MONGO_DB_USER= MONGO_DB_PASSWORD= MONGO_DB_NAME=enise_filesystem ``` ## Files Modified - `enise_site/settings.py` - Security fixes, middleware update, config cleanup - `app.py` - Fixed Django command invocation - `Dockerfile` - Changed to use run.sh - `requirements.txt` - Removed invalid package, updated Django - `.env.example` - Comprehensive configuration template - `run.sh` (NEW) - Production startup script ## Deployment Status ✅ **Fixed**: Code is now production-ready ⏳ **Pending**: Push to GitHub and HF Spaces auto-redeploy ### Next Steps: 1. Verify the space is running at https://huggingface.co/spaces/ktongue/ENISE 2. Check logs in HF Spaces settings if there are issues 3. Set all required environment variables in HF Secrets 4. Test the `/` endpoint - should see the ENISE homepage 5. Test `/api/appwrite/test/` to verify Appwrite connection ## Security Notes - Never commit `.env` file to git (protected by `.gitignore`) - All sensitive credentials must be set via HF Spaces Secrets - Generate a strong SECRET_KEY for production - Keep API keys secure in HF Secrets, never share or commit
