Database Connections Spiking on Heroku Dyno Startup with django-db-geventpool – MAX_CONNS Not Enforced
I'm using Django, Gunicorn with Gevent, and django-db-geventpool on Heroku (Performance L dynos, WEB_CONCURRENCY=17). My database connections spike significantly on dyno startup, exceeding the expected number of connections. Expected Behavior Given my setup: MAX_CONNS=4 (per worker) REUSE_CONNS=2 WEB_CONCURRENCY=17 (workers per dyno) 6 dynos in production I would expect each dyno to hold at most 68 connections (17 workers * 4 MAX_CONNS). However, on startup, I see single dynos temporarily holding 150+ idle connections, which contributes to hitting Heroku’s 500 connection limit. Key Questions What does django-db-geventpool do if more than MAX_CONNS connections are requested? Are requests queued and forced to wait for a connection to free up? Or does django-db-geventpool ignore MAX_CONNS and allow connections to exceed the limit? Why might I be seeing connection spikes during dyno startup? Steps Taken So Far Verified that the spike happens only during startup, not under normal traffic. Checked pg_stat_activity and saw many idle connections from the same dyno. Ensured I’m not leaking connections from Celery, cron jobs, or background tasks. Has anyone encountered this issue with django-db-geventpool on Heroku? Any insights on whether it respects MAX_CONNS or if connections can exceed the limit under high concurrency? -
I have added a custom loggin to my django project but it isn't working
I have added this code to my settings.py, but its not working. Django defualt logging works perfectly fine, debug is True in my settings and i've created logs folder manually. LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'formatters': { 'file_logging': { 'format': '{levelname} / {levelno} - {asctime} --- {pathname} in {lineno} --- {process:d} {thread:d} -- {message}', 'style': '{' }, 'email_logging': { 'format': '{levelname} at {asctime} --- {pathname} in {lineno} -- {message}', 'style': '{' }, }, 'filters': { 'debug_true_required': { '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugTrue' } }, 'handlers': { 'full_handler': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': 'logs/full.log', 'formatter': 'file_logging', }, 'critical_handler': { 'level': 'CRITICAL', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': 'logs/critical.log', 'formatter': 'file_logging', }, 'error_handler': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'filters': ['debug_true_required',], 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': 'logs/error.log', 'formatter': 'file_logging', }, 'critical_email_handler': { 'level': 'CRITICAL', 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler', 'formatter': 'email_logging', }, 'error_email_handler': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'filters': ['debug_true_required',], 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler', 'formatter': 'email_logging', }, }, 'loggers': { 'file_logger': { 'handlers': ['full_handler', 'critical_handler', 'error_handler'], 'level': 'INFO', 'propagate': True }, 'email_logger': { 'handlers': ['critical_email_handler', 'error_email_handler'], 'level': 'ERROR', 'propagate': True }, } } I tried recreating logs folder again, but it didn't work, then i tried changing 'propagate': False to True but it didn't work again, and also i tried logging manualy with this code, which works … -
Choices field not rendering in HTML page in my Django project
I have a model with 3 Charfields with choices, I am struggling to render the choices in my html page. On the html page, I had a card color coded between 3 colors. Instead of rendering based on selected choice in the backend, it renders the same results across different vin searches.

Workflow for Angular/Django app development
I'm working on an app using Django & Angular. I need to build the Angular app and deploy it to be served through the Django dev server in order to use Django as the backend, and I'm wondering if there's a way to optimize the following steps: Building the Angular app with ng build Removing the Angular files from the static files directory in my Django app Copying the built Angular app to the Django app static files directory Ideally I'd like to have it done automatically on edit/save, similar to how each framework works independently. Do I have to cobble something together or is this supported already somehow? Thanks. -
Heroku installs extra Python package
I have a Python/Django app which uses Pipfile and Pipfile.lock running on Heroku-22 stack. requirements.txt is not part of the code base. Pipfile and Pipfile.lock contain psycopg2. Testing env has expected packages installed, however, production env has an extra package, psycopg, installed. $ heroku run bash -a my-app-production ~ $ pip freeze | grep -i psyco psycopg==3.2.4 psycopg2==2.9.10 vs $ heroku run bash -a my-app-testing ~ $ pip freeze | grep -i psyco psycopg2==2.9.10 Any idea where is this extra psycopg package coming from? -

Django default_storage can`t find an existing file
I'm setting up work with my django app, but I ran into a problem when checking for any file in S3 storage. I can't figure out why I can't use the exists() method in my code. I searched for an error for a long time, but it turned out that the exists() method always returns False to me. Here is an example: >>> from django.core.files.storage import default_storage >>> print(default_storage.listdir("")) (['media', 'preview'], ['address_preview_1.png','address_preview_35.jpg']) >>> >>> print(default_storage.listdir("media")) ([], ['address_preview_35.jpg']) >>> print(default_storage.exists('address_preview_35.jpg')) False >>> print(default_storage.exists('/media/address_preview_35.jpg')) False >>> print(default_storage.exists('media/address_preview_35.jpg')) False >>> print(default_storage.location) media We see that the file "address_preview_35.jpg " there is both in the root of the repository and in the "media" folder. All arguments in settings.py are configured as described in the documentation. The image files are definitely on the server. We can open it. We can get the image from the full link. We can upload new files to the server and we can delete old ones. We can do everything EXCEPT check whether there is a file on the server or not. What am I doing wrong!? I tried accessing the server directly and via s3cmd. I tried accessing the repository in the module via from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage s3_storage … -
Docker-Compose Error When Building Django Dockerfile: Error -2 connecting to redis:6379. Name or service not known
I’m trying to set up an open-source status page application using the repository from Status-Page/Status-Page with Docker Compose.

Decrypting image fields for Django REST API responses
I am trying to implement a system in which pictures are encrypted on my database, but when they are sent as a response to a user, this data becomes decrypted. Here is how I am encrypting... def encrypt_validated_data(obj, image_name): for data_key in obj.validated_data: if type(obj.validated_data[data_key]) is InMemoryUploadedFile: file_extension = obj.validated_data[data_key].image.format.lower() file_extension = "." + file_extension file_name = image_name + file_extension encrypted_file = obj.cipher.encrypt( obj.validated_data[data_key].read() ).decode("utf-8") obj.validated_data[data_key] = ContentFile( encrypted_file, name = file_name ) else: obj.validated_data[data_key] = obj.cipher.encrypt( obj.validated_data[data_key].encode("utf-8") ).decode("utf-8") return obj This code is called whenever an object is going to be saved to the database. It encrypts all the fields, and deals with the image case. Now, I need to decrypt this data for my response. My first thought was to manipulate the to_representation on the serializer such that I could decrypt each data part. This works great for text fields, but I haven't figured out a way to do it with image fields! This is the code so far... class ProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): cipher = Fernet(settings.ENCRYPTED_FIELDS_KEY) profile_picture = serializers.ImageField(required=False) class Meta: model = YearRepresentative fields = [ "user_id", "name", "profile_picture", "pronouns" ] def to_representation(self, instance): encrypted_data = super().to_representation(instance) for key in encrypted_data: # We keep user ids encrypted if key … -
JavaScript `fetch()` won't post data in Django
The issue is encountered in the framework of Django. The related code lines are described below. These are the HTML lines, in which, the first div and the nested p will be filled with other HTML elements through a JavaScript function; the mentioned JavaScript function is not brought here for the sake of brevity: <form method="POST"> {% csrf_token %} <div id="bill"> </div> <div> <p id="total"></p> </div> <button onclick="record_order()">llllll</button> </form> Here is the JavaScript codes for the earlier record_order() used in button's onclick attribute in the HTML lines: function record_order() { fetch("http://localhost:8000/", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ "a": 1, "b": "vb" }), headers: { "Content-type": "application/json; charset=UTF-8", } }) .then((response) => response.json()) .then((json) => console.log(json)); } Also, there is the python class-based view whose post method is overridden like this: def post(self, request): print("---") print(request.POST) print("---") return HttpResponseRedirect("/") The button, when clicked, should call the JavaScript fetch() which will send the data to the server-side so it can be accessed via the request. But, the browser console logs out: order.js:42 POST http://localhost:8000/ 403 (Forbidden) record_order @ order.js:42 onclick @ (index):1331 and Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON On the other hand the terminal prints … -

Django Admin Theme Switching Between Grappelli and Jazzmin Not Working (Session-Based)
Problem Statement: I am working on a Django e-commerce project and want users to switch between two admin themes: Grappelli and Jazzmin using Django sessions. I have implemented a session-based theme switcher, but: The admin panel always loads Grappelli by default. The switch button appears, but clicking it does not apply the correct theme. After switching to Jazzmin, I get a "Page Not Found" error (404). Project Setup 1. Installed Apps (settings.py) INSTALLED_APPS = [ "grappelli", # Defaulting to Grappelli "jazzmin", # Want to switch between these two "colorfield", "core.apps.CoreConfig", # My core app "django.contrib.admin", "django.contrib.auth", "django.contrib.contenttypes", "django.contrib.sessions", "django.contrib.messages", "django.contrib.staticfiles", "django.contrib.humanize", ] Grappelli is loading by default, even when the session should switch to Jazzmin. 2. Middleware for Dynamic Theme Switching (core/middleware.py) from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin class DynamicAdminThemeMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin): def process_request(self, request): from django.conf import settings if request.session.get("admin_theme") == "grappelli": settings.INSTALLED_APPS = ["grappelli"] + [app for app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS if app != "jazzmin"] else: settings.INSTALLED_APPS = ["jazzmin"] + [app for app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS if app != "grappelli"] I suspect modifying settings.INSTALLED_APPS dynamically might not be effective.

Django: Best way to create logs when updating a model in bulk
I am developing a Django system where I have a main model and a log/history model to record changes. My main model: class Modelo(models.Model): user_a = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="delegated_signatures") user_b = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="received_delegations") is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) And the history model: class ModeloLogHistory(models.Model): modelo = models.ForeignKey(Modelo, on_delete=models.CASCADE) changed_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) change_type = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=ChangeType.CHOICES) previous_data = models.JSONField(null=True, blank=True) new_data = models.JSONField(null=True, blank=True) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) The logic works well for individual changes, but there is a scenario where an administrator can deactivate all records at once (is_active = False). This could generate a large volume of logs in the database, making me wonder about the best approach to handle these changes efficiently. -

What is the correct way of using Django's get_context_data() method to add key-value pairs to a context?
How can Django's get_context_data() method be used to add new key-value pairs to a context in the views.py file? I am following along with a tutorial and thus far everything has worked well, however at the moment I can't get the added context entries to populate the html template. Here's what I've got thus far, based on the instructions in the tutorial: views.py: from django.shortcuts import render from django.views.generic import TemplateView # Create your views here. class AboutPageView(TemplateView): template_name = "about.html" def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): # new context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context["contact_address"] = "123 Jones Street" context["phone_number"] = "01234 678910" return context about.html (the template): <h1>Company About Page</h1> <p>The company address is {{contact_address}}.</p> <p>The company phone number is {{phone_number}}.</p> urls.py: from django.urls import path from .views import home_page_view, AboutPageView urlpatterns = [ path("about/", AboutPageView.as_view()), path("", home_page_view) ] This results in an output which doesn't drag through the values associated contact_address and phone_number to the website when I run the dev server: What I am doing wrong? I've double-checked the sample code several times, and can't see that I'm mis-typing anything. I've also browsed for solutions online but many of the responses seem to relate to scenarios that are a bit far ahead … -

django - saving image to Supabase bucket, but image is blank
I'm uploading image through Angular - django - Supabase s3. To send image to Supabase bucket im using django-storages module. When i get image from supabase image gets corrupted with additional bytes. Here is my settings of django-storages STORAGES = { "staticfiles": { "BACKEND": "django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage", }, "default": { "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3.S3Storage", "OPTIONS": { "bucket_name": os.getenv('SUPABASE_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME'), "region_name": os.getenv('SUPABASE_S3_REGION_NAME'), "access_key": os.getenv('SUPABASE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), "secret_key": os.getenv('SUPABASE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'), "endpoint_url": os.getenv('SUPABASE_S3_ENDPOINT_URL') }, } } Here is my django code of image upload method of Viewset. @action(detail=True, methods=['post'], url_path='image', parser_classes=[FormParser, MultiPartParser]) def image_upload(self, request, pk=None): project = self.get_object() image = request.FILES['image'] project.image = image project.save() projectReadSerializer = ProjectReadSerializer(project) return Response(data = projectReadSerializer.data) whenever I post the image, I get blank image from the supabase bucket, which has more bytes than the original.

Set wrong default value in Django model
So I added a new TimeField to my django model. When I did "python3 manage.py makemigrations" it asked me to choose two options, set a default value now or add one another way. I chose to set one now. I wasn't thinking and set it to "" which is incorrect format for a time field. I have tried everything, even manually in sqlite, removing the new field and more, but I still get an error when running "python3 manage.py migrate" which is saying this: django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ['“” value has an invalid format. It must be in HH:MM[:ss[.uuuuuu]] format.'] If someone can help. me, it will be gladly appreciated! -
How can I prevent HistoricalModel Creation When Inheriting from Abstract Model?
I have an abstract base model, CompanyAwareModel, which includes historical tracking using TenantHistoricalRecords: class CompanyAwareModel(RequestChangeReasonModelMixin, TenantModel, TimeStampedModel, metaclass=CompanyAwareMeta): tenant_id = 'company_id' company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE) history = TenantHistoricalRecords(inherit=True) class Meta: abstract = True To create a variant of this model without historical tracking, I defined another abstract model: class NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel(CompanyAwareModel): history = None class Meta: abstract = True Then, I define a concrete model inheriting from NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel: class Counter(NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel): ... However, when I run makemigrations, Django still creates a HistoricalCounter model, even though I explicitly set history = None in NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel. Interestingly, if I define NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel without inheriting from CompanyAwareModel, like this: class NoHistoryCompanyAwareModel(RequestChangeReasonModelMixin, TenantModel, TimeStampedModel, metaclass=CompanyAwareMeta): tenant_id = 'company_id' company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE) history = None class Meta: abstract = True Then makemigrations does not create a historical table for Counter. Question Why does inheriting from CompanyAwareModel still create a historical table, even when history = None is explicitly set? And how can I ensure that Counter does not have a HistoricalCounter model while still inheriting from CompanyAwareModel? I expect that when I inherit the NoHistoryComapnyAwareModel from the CompanyAawreModel and set the history to None it won't create a historicalCounter for my model. -
Requiring 2FA (MFA) with Wagtail private pages. I think this works
This is one of those many times where I think I have a solution but I don't know if I'm doing something problematic I have a Wagtail site where I'm using 2FA sent by email and I have private articles that people have to log in to see Before the fix, when people logged in to the admin panel, everything worked as expected - they were required to enter a code that was emailed to them.
