I am running a LAMP image on Ubuntu 14.04. I want to run a Django app alongside to gather data off the same MySQL database.

I’ve looked through WSGI tutorials, but haven’t found anything to help me get this running from the web. I put my project in the /var/www folder.

I have the Django app running on my laptop, but how can I move it to my droplet and access it through the web?

Since you already have Apache installed as well, you can ignore setting that up, aside from the VirtualHost. You will still need to configure that.
