Running a Python Masonite application in aaPanel

1. Install Python Manager:
   • Log in to aaPanel.
   • Go to Software Store, find Python Project Manager, and install it.
2. Upload Project Files:
   • Use the aaPanel File Manager to upload your Masonite project files to a directory (e.g., /www/wwwroot/masonite-app).
3. Configure Project in Python Manager:
   • Open Python Project Manager.
   • Click Add Project.
   • Project Name: Enter a name.
   • Path: Select the folder where you uploaded the Masonite app.
   • Python Version: Select Python 3.8+ (recommended for Masonite).
   • Framework: Choose "Masonite" (or "Flask/WSGI" if Masonite isn't listed, as it's WSGI compatible).
   • Startup File/Script: Point to wsgi.py (usually app/wsgi.py or similar).
   • Port: Set a port (e.g., 8000).
   • Select "Install Dependencies" to install from requirements.txt.
   • Ensure Binding Domain is filled to map your domain to the app.
4. Configure Environment Variables & Database:
   • In the project settings in the Python Manager, ensure the .env file is configured correctly for your database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and that the APP_URL matches your domain.
5. Run Migrations & Start:
   • Use the terminal in aaPanel or the command line in the project manager to run Masonite commands:
     bash

     craft migrate
     

   • Restart the application in the Python Manager to apply changes.
6. Setup Nginx Reverse Proxy:
   • The Python Manager should automatically create an Nginx configuration that proxies requests from port 80/443 to your Python app port (e.g., 8000).
