I had similar issues with Django where I felt that running on localhost was fine, but getting it production ready was a headache. Huge shoutout to dokku[1] which I used on my latest deployment and it makes it super easy. Lets encrypt support was the easiest I've seen and you redeploy with git push.

Interesting. How does dokku work with regards to mixed multi-hosting (Apache virtual hosting) on a server? For example, you have five sites, three are PHP and two are Django. Can it deal with that? Also a neat "for free" feature of CPanel hosting is that you get super easy email hosting. This can save a lot of money for small and medium businesses. While some would be interested in using Django on these systems, it i…

A couple of years ago(2014) I made my first Python website and really enjoyed, however when it was time to put it onlin I quickly discovered that setting up hosting and configuring it was as large a task in getting to know pip, env, unicorn, apache2 and a plethora of other software to host it, is this still the case? Becaue this is what keeps me of hosting websites with python.

I was in a similar position a few years ago too, until I forced myself to learn Docker. Now, all my projects are started from the same building blocks: Docker + Django + Gunicorn + Nginx + Postgres. And I love it. Now I have traefic at the top of My to-learn list so that I can host multiple projects in the same VPS. Last weekend I learned to use 11ty — the first static site generator I managed to grasp — and I'll ent…

If anyone is curious I just updated my Docker / Django starter project to use 3.2. It uses Docker Compose + Django + Celery + PostgreSQL + Redis + Webpack + TailwindCSS and it's available at: https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example As an aside it's also using TailwindCSS 2.1 with the JIT compiler enabled.

Why celery and redis? Couldn’t you consolidate with just redis? Love the stack though

I'm more if a flask man myself. Worked with django only when I had to. Maybe I'm wrong?

Depends what you want to do, and why you're doing it. Very often when I make something in Flask, I end up with so many dependencies it might as well be Django (but without the cohesion). On the other hand, Django might be overkill in some situations (e.g. a small API without a relational database backend).

    import sys
    from django.conf import settings 
    settings.configure(
        DEBUG=True,
        SECRET_KEY='thisisthesecretkey',
        ROOT_URLCONF=__name__,
        MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES=(
            'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
            'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
            'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
            ),
        )
        
    from django.conf.urls import url
    from django.http import HttpResponse


    def index(request):
        return HttpResponse('Hello World')
        

    urlpatterns = (
        url(r'^$', index),
    )

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

        execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

A couple thoughts on django as a long time user. First, the good: - Django was the first framework i learned when learning to code. It's documentation was amazing, and it made conceptualizing an MVC framework really easy. - Django's ORM is phenomenal for managing migrations of a relational database, especially postgres with stuff like jsonb. I've even included it in non-python projects, just to handle table migration…
