I’m currently working on moving from my traditional Apache/mod_wsgi set up on Ubuntu to the new Django-serving community favorite, Gunicorn/Nginx.
I found the following links very beneficial for getting an initial set up going locally then moving over my production servers to the new configuration:
- Run Django apps using Gunicorn and nginx (Easy set up)
- Lessons Learned From The Dash: Easy Django Deployment (Another easy set up post)
- Deploying Django (more detailed post on Django deployments and the stages heavily trafficked sites go through)
- Preferred Django Stacks (Hacker News comments on what tools to use for a preferred stack)
- How Yipit Deploys Django (this was really helpful for figuring out how Chef fits into Django deployment and it gave me another excuse to spend some time learning Ruby even though most of my work is done in Django)
