Deploying Django and Wagtail on Cloud Servers: A Step-by-Step Guide

πŸš€ Are you struggling to deploy your Django or Wagtail projects on cloud servers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner? I’ve been there too, which is why I’ve documented the entire process to help others simplify their deployment journey!

I’m excited to share two repositories that provide comprehensive deployment guides:

1️⃣ Django Deployment on Hetzner (and similar cloud servers):
πŸ”— https://github.com/Matu-sunuwawa/Django_Hetzner_deployment
2️⃣ Wagtail Deployment on Hetzner (and similar cloud servers):
πŸ”— https://github.com/Matu-sunuwawa/Wagtail_Hetzner_Deployment

These repositories include:
βœ… Setting up your server environment
βœ… Installing necessary dependencies (e.g., Docker, PostgreSQL)
βœ… Configuring Nginx and Gunicorn for production
βœ… Tips for handling static and media files
βœ… Streamlined deployment steps

Whether you’re hosting on AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, or another provider, the principles outlined here can be easily adapted to fit your setup.

πŸ’‘ Why I created this:
I wanted to make it easier for developers to deploy their projects without running into unnecessary roadblocks. If you’re new to cloud hosting or looking for a practical guide, this documentation might be just what you need.

I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions for improvement. Let me know if these guides help you, or feel free to contribute to the repositories!

Happy deploying! πŸŒπŸ’»
