Description of each Lesson

===========================

[Lesson #18 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-1](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-18-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-1)

In this lesson we prepare a VPS. We secure ssh connection with repote VPS via

public key authentication. We learn how to configure local ssh client so that

we will type less in future - this configuration will ease setup of ansible

hosts file in future lesson.

[Lesson #19 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-2](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-19-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-2)

In this part we learn the role of web server - nginx in our case - and how to set it up.

I explain in lots of details the structure of nginx's site configuration file and most importantly

the server, location and alias directives and their roles in serving static content.

[Lesson #20 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-3](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-20-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-3)

In introduce Ansible here - which is de facto standard automation tool in

devops world. I explain in detail about inventory file, playbook's and roles

files structure.

[Lesson #21 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-4](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-20-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-4)

In this lesson we setup Ansible's db role. I explain how to add steps to

automate adding a new repository, create a database and add a user (with password).

I will show you commands to add user/database manual way as well, because it is not

a big deal anyway.

[Lesson #22 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-5](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-22-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-5-gunicorn)

This is the most important lesson from Django in Production from Zero to Hero

course. In this screencast you will learn how to configure the heart of

production environment nginx + gunicorn duo. Because it is important to

understand the mechanics - I postponed the Ansible automation for the next

lesson.

[Lesson #23 - Django in Production - From Zero to Hero - Part-6](https://django-lessons.com/lesson/lesson-23-django-deploy-production-step-by-step-from-zero-to-hero-part-6-gunicorn-ansible)

In this lesson we will automate everything we did in part 5. We will use

Ansible for that. We will add two more ansible roles. The app role - which

deals with django part and gunicorn role which will automate gunicorn

configuration.
