python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install ansible
ansible-playbook ansible/deploy/deploy-demo.yml -i ansible/hosts -K

Lesson #18 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-1

In this lesson we prepare a VPS. We secure ssh connection with repote VPS via public key authentication. We learn how to configure local ssh client so that we will type less in future - this configuration will ease setup of ansible hosts file in future lesson.

Lesson #19 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-2

Lesson #21 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-4

In this lesson we setup Ansible's db role. I explain how to add steps to automate adding a new repository, create a database and add a user (with password). I will show you commands to add user/database manual way as well, because it is not a big deal anyway.

Lesson #22 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-5

This is the most important lesson from Django in Production from Zero to Hero course. In this screencast you will learn how to configure the heart of production environment nginx + gunicorn duo. Because it is important to understand the mechanics - I postponed the Ansible automation for the next lesson.

Lesson #23 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-6

In this lesson we will automate everything we did in part 5. We will use Ansible for that. We will add two more ansible roles. The app role - which deals with django part and gunicorn role which will automate gunicorn configuration.
