Hosting

The VM comes preinstalled with Fabric, Heroku CLI and AWS CLI.

Deployed Instances

Instance Branch URL Heroku
Production master https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk buckinghamshire-production
Staging staging https://buckinghamshire-staging.staging.torchbox.com buckinghamshire-staging
Content Prep master https://buckinghamshire-content-prep.production.torchbox.com/ buckinghamshire-content-prep

Each instance has several subdomain URLs for:

  • Recruitment site
  • Internal recruitment site
  • Family Information Service
  • Care Advice Bucks

See the ALLOWED_HOSTS environment variable and the Wagtail Sites settings on each instance for up to date details.

Log in to Heroku

Please log in to Heroku before executing any commands for servers hosted there using the Heroku login -i command. You have to do it both in the VM and your host machine if you want to be able to use it in both places.

Connect to the shell

To open the shell of the servers.

fab staging-shell

Scheduled tasks

When you set up a server you should make sure the following scheduled tasks are set.

  • django-admin publish_scheduled_pages - every 10 minutes or more often. This is necessary to make publishing scheduled pages work.
  • django-admin clearsessions - once a day (not necessary, but useful).
  • django-admin update_index - once a day (not necessary, but useful to make sure the search index stays intact).
