# Deploying a Django Todo App:

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. An AWS account with an EC2 instance running.
    
2. `kubectl` and `kubeadm` installed on your local machine.
    
3. The Django Todo app source code from [**GitHub**](https://github.com/Rohit123890/django-todo-cicd.git).
    

## **Step 1: Clone the Repository**

Clone the Django Todo app repository to your local machine:

```plaintext
git clone https://github.com/Rohit123890/django-todo-cicd.git
cd django-todo-cicd
```

## **Step 2: Create Docker Images**

Dockerize the Django Todo. Make sure you have Docker installed on your machine.

```plaintext
# Build the image
docker build -t django-todo .
```

## **Step 3: Push Images to Docker Hub**

To deploy the image in your AWS EC2 Kubernetes cluster, you'll need to push it to a container registry. Docker Hub is a popular choice.

```plaintext
docker login
docker push yourusername/django-todo
```

## **Step 4: Set Up Kubernetes Cluster on EC2**

### **4.1. Install kubeadm, kubelet, and kubectl on the EC2 instance.**

SSH into your EC2 instance and install the required Kubernetes tools.

```plaintext
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y kubeadm kubelet kubectl
```

### **4.2. Initialize Kubernetes Master**

On the EC2 instance, run the following command to initialize the Kubernetes master node.

```plaintext
sudo kubeadm init
```

### **4.3. Set Up kubectl**

Copy the Kubernetes configuration to your home directory.

```plaintext
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
```

## **Step 5: Deploy the Django Todo App**

Deploy using a Kubernetes deployment.

```plaintext
kubectl apply -f .
```

## **Step 6: Access the Django Todo App**

Find the external IP address of your EC2 instance:

```plaintext
kubectl get nodes -o wide
```

Access the Django Todo app using the external IP and port 30080 (NodePort):

```plaintext
http://<external-ip>:30080
```

## **Conclusion**

Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a Django Todo app on an AWS EC2 instance using a Kubernetes cluster created with Kubeadm. This project demonstrates the power of Kubernetes for managing and scaling containerized applications in a cloud environment.
