Deploy Django Project - Create zip File

Zip Your Project

To wrap your project into a .zip file, you cannot zip the entire project folder, but choose the files and folders manually.

The files to include in the .zip file are highlighted in the example below:

my_tennis_club

.ebextensions/

members/

my_tennis_club/

mystaticfiles/

productionfiles/

db.sqlite3

manage.py

requirements.txt

With your file explorer, navigate to the project folder, select these files and folders, right-click and choose to create a zip file.

Now you have a .zip file of your project which you can upload to Elastic beanstalk:

my_tennis_club
    .ebextensions/
    members/
    my_tennis_club/
    mystaticfiles/
    productionfiles/
    db.sqlite3
    manage.py

my_tennis_clup.zip

requirements.txt
