Django access remote application from your system

Assume you have two systems with Django applications installed

Suppose
System1 IP is : 192.10.10.111
System2 IP is : 192.10.10.222 

Suppose you are using System1, and you want to also access the System2 application (for Testing)
Instead of going to System2, you can very well configure host settings to access System2 machine from your own Desktop/Machine

Say the application name (ServerName) for System1 is app111.com
Say the application name (ServerName) for System2 is app222.com

Configure Hosts File in Windows System (192.10.10.111):

The Hosts file in Windows is located at the following location:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Suppose your system IP is: 192.10.10.111

Add the following to the Hosts File:
192.10.10.111    app111.com
192.10.10.222   app222.com

When you access app222.com in your browser, it then points to 192.10.10.222 for accessing the application.

Similarly you can make use of hosts file to access the remote applications at your ease.

Django Application with Remote Database

Django Application with remote database

Assume you want to access remote database on your Django application

Suppose
Your system IP is             : 192.10.10.111  (or) localhost
Your friends system IP is : 192.10.10.222 

Run your Django application with local database:
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'HOST': '192.10.10.111 ',    #(or) localhost
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '111_test_db' ,
        'USER': '111_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'XXX'
    }
}

Run your Django application with remote database:
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'HOST': '192.10.10.222',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '222_test_db',
        'USER':'222_user',
        'PASSWORD':'YYY'
    }
}

When accessing remote database for yout django application, you need Grant Permissions on Remote Database for initiating HOST user

E.g., In the remote database '222_test_db'  (Login)
grant all privileges on *.* to 111_user@192.10.10.111 identified by 'XXX' with grant option;

The above command gives/grants enough permissions to the 111_user to access 222_test_db, else "Permission Denied" error is shown.
