Gunicorn is a Python WSGI HTTP server that handles application requests, and Nginx is a reverse proxy server that handles client requests and forwards them to Gunicorn.

Steps to Deploy

1. Install Gunicorn:

   pip install gunicorn
   

2. Run Gunicorn:

   gunicorn your_project.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:8000
   

3. Install and Configure Nginx:
   • Install Nginx:

     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install nginx
     

   • Create a new Nginx server block configuration:

     server {
         listen 80;
         server_name example.com;
     
         location /static/ {
             alias /path/to/staticfiles/;
         }
     
         location / {
             proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
             proxy_set_header Host $host;
             proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
             proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         }
     }
     

   • Restart Nginx:

     sudo systemctl restart nginx
     

4. Test the Deployment: Access your application via the domain or IP address configured.
