How to install and configure a local web server for a Django site?

Question

Django

Hi all. Happy holiday! Since March 18! :))
I'm learning Python, Django.
I wanted to create my own website on the network, but sometimes it’s expensive, sometimes there are all sorts of restrictions.
In short, I decided to do everything locally, to practice. And then, as I fill my hand, there will be free money and I will put it on the combat server.
The computer is running Xubuntu 16.04.
I roughly understand this, you need to install a virtual Linux server, then a web server on it, and so on.
Explain in more detail how to implement this idea or click on the link where it is written.
Thank you.
PS I forgot to write, not just python manage.py runserver, but something like simulating a combat server on a local computer, so that you need to configure Nginx, uWSGI, SHH, etc., i.e. everything is like in real life, only on your computer.

Answer 1

In principle, if you need it not for production, then that's python3 manage.py runserverenough. Just open a NAT port on your computer and everyone can visit your site! But if you really want, do: nginx + gunicorn https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/h...
By the way, you can use https://ngrok.com/ instead of opening NAT!

Answer 2

virtualbox
ubuntu server (17.X - to be ready for innovations in 18.04)
- figure out how to work with sssh keys
- how to run django devserver to show yourself from a virtual machine in a browser to an OS host
- how to install nginx from an nginx repository, configure static proxying, configure config
- figure out how to install uwsgi with pip and globally, differences and cons of each approach
- systemd - how to stop, start processes, read logs, write configs
- postgresql - default django subd, figure out how to work with psql

I will lay out free money on the combat server.
