Django Deployment on Linux Ubuntu

Question

I am going to seploy my first Django application to a cloud server like Amazon EC2 and the system is Linux Ubuntu. But I cannot find a very good step-by-step tutorial for the deployment.

Could you recommend one?

And I also have the following questions:

1. What is the most recommended environment? Gunicorn, Apache+mod_python or ohters?
2. How to deploy my code? I am using mac and should I use ftp or check out from my github repository?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Here is my stack: Nignx + gunicon, Supervisor

Deployment, If you are planing frequent releases you should be looking at something like Fabric. Even of not frequent Fabric is a very good tool to be aware of.

People have preference in terms of stack, but this one has been working great for me.
