Deployment

The default username and password for Baby Buddy is admin/admin. For any deployment, log in and change the default password immediately.

Many of Baby Buddy's configuration settings can be controlled using environment variables - see Configuration for detailed information.

Docker

Baby Buddy relies on the LinuxServer.io community for a multi-architecture container with strong support. See linuxserver/docker-babybuddy for detailed information about the container or use the following Docker Compose configuration as a template to get started quickly:

version: "2.1"
services:
  babybuddy:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
    container_name: babybuddy
    environment:
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata:/config
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    restart: unless-stopped

See Django's databases documentation for database requirements.

See HTTPS/SSL configuration for information on how to secure Baby Buddy.

For doing administrative work within the LSIO container, setting an environment variable may be necessary. For example:

docker exec -it babybuddy /bin/bash
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="babybuddy.settings.base"
python3 /app/babybuddy/manage.py clearsessions

Home Assistant

Home Assistant is an open source home automation tool that can be used to host and control Baby Buddy. An existing Home Assistant installation is required to use this method.

See the community-maintained Baby Buddy Home Assistant Addon for installation instructions and then review the community-maintained Baby Buddy Home Assistant integration for added integrations with the base Home Assistant system.

See also How to Setup Baby Buddy in Home Assistant from Smart Home Scene for more detailed installation and configuration instructions.

Clever Cloud

To deploy on Clever Cloud, log in to your Clever Cloud console, create a Python application, link it to a PostgreSQL addon and optionally a Cellar S3 Storage addon (only if you want file storage for child picture in particular). Then make sure to set the following environment variables in your Python application before pushing the babybuddy source code:

CC_PYTHON_BACKEND=uwsgi
CC_PYTHON_MANAGE_TASKS=migrate
CC_PYTHON_MODULE=babybuddy.wsgi:application
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.clever-cloud
SECRET_KEY=<CHANGE TO SOMETHING RANDOM>
TIME_ZONE=<DESIRED DEFAULT TIMEZONE>
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=<DESIRED BUCKET NAME> # only if file storage is needed

See Configuration for other environment variables available for your instance of babybuddy.

After that, you just have to push babybuddy code repository to the Git deployment URL of your Clever Cloud Python application.

Manual

There are many ways to deploy Baby Buddy manually to any server/VPS. The basic requirements are Python, a web server, an application server, and a database.

Requirements

Example deployment

This example assumes a 1 GB VPS instance with Ubuntu 20.04. It uses Python 3.8, nginx, uwsgi and sqlite. It should be sufficient for a few users (e.g., two parents and any number of children).

  1. Install system packages

    sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip nginx uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3 git libopenjp2-7-dev libpq-dev

  2. Default python3 to python for this session

    alias python=python3

  3. Install pipenv

    sudo -H pip3 install pipenv

  4. Set up directories and files

    sudo mkdir /var/www/babybuddy
sudo chown $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /var/www/babybuddy
mkdir -p /var/www/babybuddy/data/media
git clone https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy.git /var/www/babybuddy/public

  5. Move in to the application folder

    cd /var/www/babybuddy/public

  6. Initiate and enter a Python environment with Pipenv locally.

    export PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1
pipenv install --three
pipenv shell

  7. Create a production settings file and set the SECRET_KEY and ALLOWED_HOSTS values

    cp babybuddy/settings/production.example.py babybuddy/settings/production.py
editor babybuddy/settings/production.py

  8. Initiate the application

    export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.production
python manage.py migrate

  9. Set appropriate permissions on the database and data folder

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/babybuddy/data
sudo chmod 640 /var/www/babybuddy/data/db.sqlite3
sudo chmod 750 /var/www/babybuddy/data

  10. Create and configure the uwsgi app

    sudo editor /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.ini

    Example config:

    [uwsgi]
plugins = python3
project = babybuddy
base_dir = /var/www/babybuddy

chdir = %(base_dir)/public
virtualenv = %(chdir)/.venv
module =  %(project).wsgi:application
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%(project).settings.production
master = True
vacuum = True

    See the uWSGI documentation for more advanced configuration details.

    See Subdirectory configuration for additional configuration required if Baby Buddy will be hosted in a subdirectory of another server.

  11. Symlink config and restart uWSGI:

    sudo ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/babybuddy.ini
sudo service uwsgi restart

  12. Create and configure the nginx server

    sudo editor /etc/nginx/sites-available/babybuddy

    Example config:

    upstream babybuddy {
 server unix:///var/run/uwsgi/app/babybuddy/socket;
}

server {
 listen 80;
 server_name babybuddy.example.com;

 location / {
    uwsgi_pass babybuddy;
    include uwsgi_params;
 }

 location /media {
    alias /var/www/babybuddy/data/media;
 }
}

    See the nginx documentation for more advanced configuration details.

    See Subdirectory configuration for additional configuration required if Baby Buddy will be hosted in a subdirectory of another server.

  13. Symlink config and restart NGINX:

    sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/babybuddy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/babybuddy
sudo service nginx restart

  14. That's it (hopefully)!
