I am trying to deploy my Django website using Digital Ocean Droplet. I followed this documentation to setup my application with Digital Ocean droplet using Nginx and Gunicorn. After this the website is properly running on my system if I visit to my domain name in the bowser. But now I am confused that how should make my website available over the internet to the world. Below is the nginx settings I have used as per the documentation I followed:
server {
server_name 46.101.156.167;
access_log off;
location /static/ {
alias /opt/myapp/static/;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
add_header P3P 'CP="ALL DSP COR PSAa PSDa OUR NOR ONL UNI COM NAV"';
}
}
Above given server_name is the IP of my droplet which is redirected to the domain name of my website.
It would be great if any one can guide me with step by step documentation to make my website live. I believe the Digital Ocean should take my website from the repo in git or bitbucket so that in case of further changes I just need to push my code to the repo and than my droplet can use the updated code. But I am ber much confused about how to do it.
