Summary

We started by establishing a simple workflow to manage the cycle of development, deployment, and updates. We defined three main components for this workflow and how they relate to one another. We discussed the relationship between local workstations, a central Git repository, and a web server, and set some guidelines on how work should flow between them.

We then created a hosting account, set up a virtual server, and got ready to do work on the server locally. Then, we explored how we can access the server locally through SSH, and ran some basic security and administration tasks. We cloned our repository and saw that it can run on the server exactly as we do locally.

We then discussed the two other required components for our app to be available publicly. We ran our app slightly differently by using a WSGI server. The last step was to install and configure a web server, using the simplest setup possible. Our app was then accessible on a public IP.

Finally, we explored...
