In this guide, I will take you through how to install and configure some components on Ubuntu 18.04 to support and serve Django applications.

We will be setting up an SQLite database. We will configure the Gunicorn application server to interface with our applications. We will then set up Nginx to reverse proxy to Gunicorn, giving us access to its security and performance features to serve our apps.

This is a continuation of a free web development course I made with Django. Watch it here.
