How do I set up Nginx with Django?

To set up Nginx with Django, you'll need to install Nginx, configure it to serve your Django application, and set up a WSGI server like Gunicorn.

What are the steps to install Nginx?

You can install Nginx using your package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run sudo apt update and then sudo apt install nginx.

How do I configure Nginx to work with Gunicorn?

You need to create a configuration file for your site in /etc/nginx/sites-available/, linking it to sites-enabled, and set the server block to proxy pass to Gunicorn.

Can you provide a sample Nginx configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location /static/ {
        root /path/to/your/staticfiles;
    }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/path/to/your/gunicorn.sock;
    }
}
