Hello,

I suppose you are using django default server. If I'm right, it doesn't make sense to me running it as service since default server is just for development and run it each time you want test something isn't a great problem. Of course you can write your own init.d script, you can found a lot useful information on internet : ubuntu pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubu...) tiny example: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/38834-how-get-service-run-startup-ubuntu.html (http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newb...)

And you can also check your scripts in init.d. However if you want dashboard for something else more than just testing, you could deploy it using apache or any other, getting the init.d script among many other useful things.

Bye
