django-fullurl  If you re trying to do this in a Django template  I ve released a tiny PyPI package django-fullurl to let you replace url and static template tags with fullurl and fullstatic  like this      load fullurl     Absolute URL is     fullurl  foo bar      Another absolute URL is     fullstatic  kitten jpg       These badges should hopefully stay up-to-date automatically         In a view  you can of course use request build absolute uri instead

You can also use   import socket socket gethostname     This is working fine for me    I m not entirely sure how it works  I believe this is a bit more low level and will return your server hostname  which might be different than the hostname used by your user to get to your page

If anyone is interested in fetching the absolute reverse url with parameters in a template   the cleanest way is to create your own absolute version of the    url    template tag by extending and using existing default code  Here is my code  from django import template from django template defaulttags import URLNode  url  register   template Library    class AbsURLNode URLNode       def   init   self  view name  args  kwargs  asvar           super     init   view name  args  kwargs  asvar       def render self  context           url       super   render context          request   context  request            return request build absolute uri url     register tag def abs url parser  token        urlNode   url parser  token      return AbsURLNode  urlNode view name  urlNode args  urlNode kwargs  urlNode asvar     Usage in templates     load wherever your stored this tag file       abs url  view name  parameter     will render example   http   example com view name parameter   instead of  view name parameter

As mentioned in other answers  request build absolute uri   is perfect if you have access to request  and sites framework is great as long as different URLs point to different databases   However  my use case was slightly different  My staging server and the production server access the same database  but get current site both returned the first site in the database  To resolve this  you have to use some kind of environment variable  You can either use 1  an environment variable  something like os environ get  SITE URL    localhost 8000    or 2  different SITE IDs for different servers AND different settings py   Hopefully someone will find this useful

I know this is an old question  But I think people still run into this a lot   There are a couple of libraries out there that supplement the default Django functionality  I have tried a few  I like the following library when reverse referencing absolute urls   https   github com fusionbox django-absoluteuri  Another one I like because you can easily put together a domain  protocol and path is   https   github com RRMoelker django-full-url  This library allows you to simply write what you want in your template  e g      url parts domain

If you re using django REST framework  you can use the reverse function from rest framework reverse  This has the same behavior as django core urlresolvers reverse  except that it uses a request parameter to build a full URL   from rest framework reverse import reverse    returns the full url url   reverse  view name   args  obj pk    request request     returns only the relative url url   reverse  view name   args  obj pk      Edited to mention availability only in REST framework

There is also ABSOLUTE URL OVERRIDES available as a setting  https   docs djangoproject com en 2 1 ref settings  absolute-url-overrides  But that overrides get absolute url    which may not be desirable   Instead of installing sites framework just for this or doing some of the other stuff mentioned here that relies on request object  I think the better solution is to place this in models py   Define BASE URL in settings py  then import it into models py and make an abstract class  or add it to one you re already using  that defines get truly absolute url    It could be as simple as   def get truly absolute url self       return BASE URL   self get absolute url     Subclass it and now you can use it everywhere

If you can t get access to request then you can t use get current site request  as recommended in some solutions here  You can use a combination of the native Sites framework and get absolute url instead  Set up at least one Site in the admin  make sure your model has a get absolute url   method  then    gt  gt  gt  from django contrib sites models import Site  gt  gt  gt  domain   Site objects get current   domain  gt  gt  gt  obj   MyModel objects get id 3   gt  gt  gt  path   obj get absolute url     gt  gt  gt  url    http    domain  path   format domain domain  path path   gt  gt  gt  print url   http   example com mymodel objects 3     https   docs djangoproject com en dev ref contrib sites  getting-the-current-domain-for-full-urls

You can also use get current site as part of the sites app  from django contrib sites models import get current site   It takes a request object  and defaults to the site object you have configured with SITE ID in settings py if request is None  Read more in documentation for using the sites framework  e g   from django contrib sites shortcuts import get current site request   None full url      join   http      get current site request  domain  obj get absolute url       It isn t as compact neat as request build absolute url    but it is usable when request objects are unavailable  and you have a default site url
