Asked by Bungol
After I update a file being served on the system, is there a command I need to run to make the changes go live? Something like sudo systemctl restart nginx since I’m using Nginx?
Or do I simply need to wait awhile for the changes to proliferate?
I’m using Django, Ubuntu 16.04, Nginx and Gunicorn
