Deploy Django on Linux

I will walk you through all the major components of deploying Django.

Learn about the architecture of a deployment and how the different pieces fit together. You will understand the differences and similarities between different options for:

Linux distribution (Debian vs Ubuntu vs CentOS vs Fedora)

Web server (Nginx vs Apache2)

Database server (SQLite vs MySQL vs MariaDB vs PostgreSQL)

WSGI server (uWSGI vs gunicorn vs waitress)

SSL certificates (self–signed vs LetsEncrypt)

The first portion of the course will talk about the architecture and the role of each component. I will also discuss alternative architectures and things to consider when planning. I’ll talk about the different options and which ones I recommend for various situations. The second portion of the course will be an actual walkthrough, step–by–step, of deploying a Django project to production with security in mind. At the end of the course I’ll wrap up with showing you how you can automate updates and backups.

When you’re done with the course you’ll know all my tips and tricks, have a solid understanding of the architecture to make well informed choices.

You can ask me questions in the Q&A section of the course and learn from others. If you have a unique situation, share your question and I will help you. Remember, you’re not just buying a set of videos, you’re taking a course and I am a resource for you as your instructor.
