Weblate deployments¶
Weblate comes with support for deployment using several technologies. This section is overview of them.
Running Weblate in the Docker¶
With dockerized weblate deployment you can get your personal weblate instance up an running in seconds. All of Weblate’s dependencies are already included. PostgreSQL is configured as the default database.
Deployment¶
The following examples assume you have a working Docker environment, with docker-compose installed. Please check Docker documentation for instructions on this.
Clone weblate-docker repo:
git clone https://github.com/WeblateOrg/docker.git weblate-docker cd weblate-docker
Create a
docker-compose.override.yml
file with your settings. See Docker environment variables full list of environment varsversion: '2' services: weblate: environment: - WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com - WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST_USER=user - WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=pass - WEBLATE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=weblate.example.com - WEBLATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password for admin user
Примечание
If
WEBLATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD
is not set, admin user is created with random password printed out on first startup.Build Weblate containers:
docker-compose build
Start Weblate containers:
docker-compose up
Enjoy your Weblate deployment, it’s accessible on port 80 of the weblate
container.
Изменено в версии 2.15-2: The setup has changed recently, prior there was separate web server container, since 2.15-2 the web server is embedded in weblate container.

Docker container with https support¶
Please see Deployment for generic deployment instructions. To add
HTTPS reverse proxy additional Docker container is required, we will use
https-portal. This is
used in the docker-compose-https.yml
file. Then you just need to create
a docker-compose-https.override.yml
file with your settings:
version: '2'
services:
weblate:
environment:
- WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
- WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST_USER=user
- WEBLATE_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=pass
- WEBLATE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=weblate.example.com
- WEBLATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password for admin user
https-portal:
environment:
DOMAINS: 'weblate.example.com -> http://weblate'
Whenever invoking docker-compose you need to pass both files to it then:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-https.yml -f docker-compose-https.override.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose-https.yml -f docker-compose-https.override.yml up
Upgrading Docker container¶
Usually it is good idea to update the weblate container only and keep the PostgreSQL container at version you have as upgrading PostgreSQL is quite painful and in most cases it does not bring many benefits.
You can do this by sticking with existing docker-compose and just pulling latest images and restarting:
docker-compose down
docker-compose pull
docker-compose build --pull
docker-compose up
The Weblate database should be automatically migrated on first start and there should be no need for additional manual actions.
Maintenance tasks¶
There are some cron jobs to run. You should set WEBLATE_OFFLOAD_INDEXING
to 1
when these are setup
*/5 * * * * cd /usr/share/weblate/; docker-compose run --rm weblate update_index
@daily cd /usr/share/weblate/; docker-compose run --rm weblate cleanuptrans
@hourly cd /usr/share/weblate-docker/; docker-compose run --rm weblate commit_pending --all --age=96

In order to use the Github pull requests feature, you must initialize hub configuration by entering the weblate container and executing an arbitrary hub command. For example:
docker-compose exec weblate bash
cd
HOME=/app/data/home hub clone octocat/Spoon-Knife
The username passed for credentials must be the same as GITHUB_USERNAME
.
Select your machine - local or cloud providers¶
With docker-machine you can create your Weblate deployment either on your local machine or on any large number of cloud-based deployments on e.g. Amazon AWS, Digitalocean and many more providers.
Running Weblate on OpenShift 2¶
This repository contains a configuration for the OpenShift platform as a service product, which facilitates easy installation of Weblate on OpenShift Online (https://www.openshift.com/), OpenShift Enterprise (https://enterprise.openshift.com/) and OpenShift Origin (https://www.openshift.org/).
Prerequisites¶
OpenShift Account
You need an account for OpenShift Online (https://www.openshift.com/) or another OpenShift installation you have access to.
You can register a free account on OpenShift Online, which allows you to host up to 3 applications free of charge.
OpenShift Client Tools
In order to follow the examples given in this documentation you need to have the OpenShift Client Tools (RHC) installed: https://developers.openshift.com/en/managing-client-tools.html
While there are other possibilities to create and configure OpenShift applications, this documentation is based on the OpenShift Client Tools (RHC) because they provide a consistent interface for all described operations.
Installation¶
You can install Weblate on OpenShift directly from Weblate’s Github repository with the following command:
# Install Git HEAD
rhc -aweblate app create -t python-2.7 --from-code https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git --no-git
# Install Weblate 2.10
rhc -aweblate app create -t python-2.7 --from-code https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git#weblate-2.10 --no-git
The -a
option defines the name of your weblate installation, weblate
in
this instance. You are free to specify a different name.
The above example installs latest development version, you can optionally
specify tag identifier right of the #
sign to identify the version of
Weblate to install. For a list of available versions see here:
https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/tags.
The --no-git
option skips the creation of a
local git repository.
You can also specify which database you want to use:
# For MySQL
rhc -aweblate app create -t python-2.7 -t mysql-5.5 --from-code https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git --no-git
# For PostgreSQL
rhc -aweblate app create -t python-2.7 -t postgresql-9.2 --from-code https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git --no-git
Default Configuration¶
After installation on OpenShift Weblate is ready to use and preconfigured as follows:
- SQLite embedded database (
DATABASES
) - Random admin password
- Random Django secret key (
SECRET_KEY
) - Indexing offloading if the cron cartridge is installed (
OFFLOAD_INDEXING
) - Committing of pending changes if the cron cartridge is installed (
commit_pending
) - Weblate machine translations for suggestions bases on previous translations (
MACHINE_TRANSLATION_SERVICES
) - Weblate directories (STATIC_ROOT,
DATA_DIR
,TTF_PATH
, Avatar cache) set according to OpenShift requirements/conventions - Django site name and ALLOWED_HOSTS set to DNS name of your OpenShift application
- Email sender addresses set to no-reply@<OPENSHIFT_CLOUD_DOMAIN>, where <OPENSHIFT_CLOUD_DOMAIN> is the domain OpenShift runs under. In case of OpenShift Online it’s rhcloud.com.

Retrieve Admin Password¶
You can retrieve the generated admin password with the following command:
rhc -aweblate ssh credentials
Indexing Offloading¶
To enable the preconfigured indexing offloading you need to add the cron cartridge to your application and restart it:
rhc -aweblate add-cartridge cron
rhc -aweblate app stop
rhc -aweblate app start
The fulltext search index will then be updated every 5 minutes.
Restarting with rhc restart
instead will not enable indexing offloading in Weblate.
You can verify that indexing offloading is indeed enabled by visiting the URL /admin/performance/
of your application.
Pending Changes¶
Weblate’s OpenShift configuration contains a cron job which periodically commits pending changes older than a certain age (24h by default). To enable the cron job you need to add the cron cartridge and restart Weblate as described in the previous section. You can change the age parameter by setting the environment variable WEBLATE_PENDING_AGE to the desired number of hours, e.g.:
rhc -aweblate env set WEBLATE_PENDING_AGE=48
Customize Weblate Configuration¶
You can customize the configuration of your Weblate installation on OpenShift
through environment variables. Override any of Weblate’s setting documented
under Configuration using rhc env set
by prepending the settings name with
WEBLATE_
. The variable content is put verbatim to the configuration file,
so it is parsed as Python string, after replacing environment variables in it
(eg. $PATH
). To put literal $
you need to escape it as $$
.
For example override the ADMINS
setting like this:
rhc -aweblate env set WEBLATE_ADMINS='(("John Doe", "jdoe@example.org"),)'
To change site title, do not forget to include additional quotes:
rhc -aweblate env set WEBLATE_SITE_TITLE='"Custom Title"'
New settings will only take effect after restarting Weblate:
rhc -aweblate app stop
rhc -aweblate app start
Restarting using rhc -aweblate app restart
does not work. For security reasons only constant expressions are allowed as values.
With the exception of environment variables which can be referenced using ${ENV_VAR}
. For example:
rhc -aweblate env set WEBLATE_PRE_COMMIT_SCRIPTS='("${OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR}/examples/hook-unwrap-po",)'
You can check the effective settings Weblate is using by running:
rhc -aweblate ssh settings
This will also print syntax errors in your expressions. To reset a setting to its preconfigured value just delete the corresponding environment variable:
rhc -aweblate env unset WEBLATE_ADMINS

Updating¶
It is recommended that you try updates on a clone of your Weblate installation before running the actual update. To create such a clone run:
rhc -aweblate2 app create --from-app weblate
Visit the newly given URL with a browser and wait for the install/update page to disappear.
You can update your Weblate installation on OpenShift directly from Weblate’s github repository by executing:
rhc -aweblate2 ssh update https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git
The identifier right of the #
sign identifies the version of Weblate to install.
For a list of available versions see here: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/tags.
Please note that the update process will not work if you modified the git repository of you weblate installation.
You can force an update by specifying the --force
option to the update script. However any changes you made to the
git repository of your installation will be discarded:
rhc -aweblate2 ssh update --force https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git
The --force
option is also needed when downgrading to an older version.
Please note that only version 2.0 and newer can be installed on OpenShift,
as older versions don’t include the necessary configuration files.
The update script takes care of the following update steps as described under Generic upgrade instructions.
- Install any new requirements
- manage.py migrate
- manage.py setupgroups –move
- manage.py setuplang
- manage.py rebuild_index –all
- manage.py collectstatic –noinput
Bitnami Weblate stack¶
Bitnami provides Weblate stack for many platforms at <https://bitnami.com/stack/weblate>. The setup will be adjusted during installation, see <https://bitnami.com/stack/weblate/README.txt> for more documentation.
Weblate in YunoHost¶
The self-hosting project YunoHost provides a package for Weblate. Once you have your YunoHost installation, you may install Weblate as any other application. It will provide you a fully working stack with backup and restoration, but you may still have to edit your settings file for specific usages.
You may use your administration interface or this button (it will bring you to your server):
It also is possible to use the command line interface:
yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/weblate_ynh
