Put a GeoNode project into Production

In this section, we will update the NGINX and UWSGI daemons to point to our brand new geonode-project instance

• Stop any currently running instance of GeoNode

workon my_geonode
cd /opt/geonode-project/my_geonode

./manage_dev.sh stop_django

sudo systemctl stop nginx
sudo pkill -9 -f uwsgi

• Create the new UWSGI app

sudo cp /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/geonode.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/my_geonode.ini
sudo rm /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/geonode.ini
sudo ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/my_geonode.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/my_geonode.ini

sudo vim /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/my_geonode.ini
