Django Oscar on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
by cloudimg
Django Oscar e-commerce framework, a ready to run starter store with a sample catalogue.
Django Oscar is a mature, widely used open-source e-commerce framework for the Django web framework. It provides a full storefront and a comprehensive staff dashboard covering catalogue and product management, ranges and offers, baskets and checkout, orders, vouchers, customer accounts and reporting, and it is designed to be extended and customised for domain-specific online retail. This image delivers Oscar's own canonical starter store fully installed as a Django application in a dedicated Python virtual environment, served by gunicorn and reverse-proxied behind nginx, with a PostgreSQL database, so your store is operational within minutes of launch with no manual virtualenv wiring, database creation, WSGI server configuration or reverse-proxy setup required. A sample catalogue of demonstration products, images, ranges and offers is pre-loaded, so the storefront, catalogue browse and dashboard are immediately populated and ready to explore.
The image is hardened to be secure by default. No shared or default credential ever ships: the sample store's default account is never created, and on the first boot of every VM a fresh Django secret key and PostgreSQL password are generated and the administrator account is created with a unique, randomly generated password. That password is written to a root-only file on the instance. The application is bound to the loopback interface and reached only through nginx, host settings are configured so that sign-in works on the public IP address or a custom domain without a baked-in hostname, and an unauthenticated health endpoint is provided for load-balancer probes.
Systemd manages gunicorn and nginx for automatic restarts and clean logging, the OS is fully patched at build time and continues to receive unattended security updates, and 24/7 cloudimg support is included.
