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

Accepted Answer
sudo nginx -t this will tell you if your configuration file(s) has any errors.
If no errors on Ubuntu:16.04 you can do sudo service nginx restart
You only have to restart/reload if you change a config file. Web files require no restarting or waiting.
