Explore the deployment process with the right tools, then practice deploying your project on Hostinger VPNs, starting from an operating system setup and moving to VPN-based hosting.
Deploys a simple django project named x 500 x, showing settings, apps, routes, URLs, a home view, and templates, then runs the server to preview deployment.
Create a new GitHub repository, name it, drag your project files into the area, and commit the changes to upload your project.
update and upgrade the operating system, install python3, python3-pip, python3-venv, git, and nginx, then configure the web root at /var/www and note the default nginx page.
Learn how your Django app, Gunicorn, and Nginx cooperate after deployment, handling user requests from Nginx to Gunicorn to Django and back to the user.
Clone the Django project from GitHub using the terminal, then move it to the /var/www folder. Set ownership to your user and group to www-data to enable deployment.
Deploy a django project on a hostinger VPS by creating and activating a virtual environment, installing django, fixing permissions with chown, then migrating, collecting static files, and running the server.
Explain why Django's development server isn't for production, show exposing the app with 0.0.0.0:8000 on a network, and introduce Gunicorn for production on Hostinger VPS.
Install gunicorn and run it for your Django project with cpu-based workers, binding to 0.0.0.0:8000. Gunicorn serves Django but not static or media files; Nginx serves those assets.
Start Gunicorn as a systemd service on Linux to keep your Django app running on localhost, enabling, starting, and verifying status after reboot.
Configure Nginx to serve a Django app with Gunicorn on a Hostinger VPS, create a site, set proxy_pass, serve static files, and enable auto start on boot.
Update the operating system on the Hostinger VPS using sudo apt update and upgrade, then install python3, python3-pip, python3-venv, and nginx.
Clone the django project on hostinger vps, set up a virtual environment, install django and gunicorn, migrate, change /var/www ownership to www-data, and run the server on 0.0.0.0 via http.
Configure Nginx on a Hostinger VPS to serve a Django app by creating a site file in /etc/nginx/sites-available, enabling it, and routing requests to Gunicorn with static paths.
Learn how to buy a domain from Hostinger, search and select a cheap one-year plan, complete payment, verify your email, and activate your domain.
Point your domain to your VPS by updating DNS A and CNAME records, then configure nginx to pass requests to gunicorn for Django on the domain and www.
Install SSL on VPS using Hostinger guide, enable HTTPS for Nginx on Ubuntu, run commands, enter email, and set up automatic renewal for a secure site.
Install the MySQL server on the VPS and secure it with mysql_secure_installation, removing anonymous users and disallowing remote root. Log in to MySQL and create a database for Django.
Add a password to the root user in MySQL, flush privileges, and verify Django database login with the correct password to connect successfully.
Activate the virtual environment in the Django project directory, install the MySQL client with pip, and prepare to connect Django to MySQL.
Connect django with mysql by editing settings.py to set the mysql engine and django test database, then run migrations and verify with show databases and show tables.
Apply the final production configuration by turning off debug, setting allowed hosts to your domain and www, and restarting gunicorn and nginx to verify the Django deployment on Hostinger.
