Setting up Django on Google Cloud (basic server)
by Samuel Muiruri Jan. 26, 2018

Jan. 26, 2018

I had this issue before with AWS i remember it was just as stressful then and actually can't remember what actually fixed it. I basically have a clean Ubuntu VM which I followed this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-… step by step on creating and hosting django on a site. Every step worked smoothly until this point when I need to run the command "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000" which starts the service (shown on the attached screenshot) (also is the google cloud page showing the given external ip) according to this with the server waiting visiting http://35.227.49.155:8000/ should bring the site or something but it fails to connect i get " This site can’t be reached " message. For now I'm taking a break hoping I'll come up with something, also hope someone here who might have gone through the same or is a seasoned web dev might also help too. -- Best Regards, Samuel Muiruri. Senior Developer @ Revorta.

Or it could be the allowed hosts in the settings file. I was using vagrant and even though I had forwarded the ports from the guest machine, I also needed to add the ip of the guest server into my hosts. I then connected via the ip of the vagrant box rather than the localhost and the forwarded port as I would have expected.

PyCon Namibia - and funds to attend
by Daniele Procida Jan. 8, 2018

Jan. 8, 2018

Dear Pythonistas in the UK, The fourth PyCon Nambibia takes place next month: <http://na.pycon.org>. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to attend an African PyCon - well, here's a chance. Previous editions of PyCon Namibia have been attended by quite a number of visitors from the UK (as well as Europe, USA, Canada). This year, there'll be at least four people travelling from the UK to take part (including me, I wouldn't miss it for anything). It's highly recommended! Here's a rundown of last year's event: <https://na.pycon.org/en/pycon-namibia-2017/> The PyCon Society/UK Python Association is offering funds to help travellers this year. The travel grants are open to anyone who is involved in Python in the UK - if you're reading this, it almost certainly includes you. How to apply: * drop a line to <trustees(a)uk.python.org>, introducing yourself, before the 15th January 2018 * give us an idea of what you intend to bring to the Namibian Python community, and what you think you'll be able to bring back * tell us how much you will need to make it possible for you to attend You don't need to be a pillar of the community or a Python expert to be considered. However, it's important to have an idea of why you're going. The funds are intended to enrich both the Namibian and UK Python communities through your participation. Funds are limited of course, but as a guide, something between £500 and £1000 could be considered reasonable. The airfare to Windhoek from the UK is generally around £660. Accommodation in Namibia is inexpensive (ask me for details if you need help planning). See also <https://na.pycon.org/en/accommodation/>. Regards, Daniele
