Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu

I have made a bash script to automate the setup process, hopefully this will be useful to someone else.

I had to restart the server for Step 3 to take effect.

Hey @jamonation, there is a typo on the page:

Tthe firewall is currently blocking all connections except for SSH.

I absolutely love these types of articles! Thank you for taking the time to write the article and to keep the inform update to date.

how can one find ‘your_server_ip’?

Step 4: OpenSSH is not available in Ubuntu on WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) I am using Ubuntu 22 on WSL on Win 11.

I am new to Django and have tried deploying my first project here in Digital Ocean. I followed this article for the steps and my website behaved as expected but when I integrated nginx setup, the static files are not showing up.

My settings.py has this:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
 os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'digitalnotebook/static')
]

My /etc/nginx/sites-available/digital_project has this:

server {
 listen 80;
 server_name xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
 location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
 location /static/ {
 root /home/djangoadmin/pyapps/digitalnotebook_project;
 }
 location /media/ {
 root /home/djangoadmin/pyapps/digitalnotebook_project;
 }
 location / {
 include proxy_params;
 proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
 }
}

my static folders (css, js,img) are in this path: /home/djangoadmin/pyapps/digitalnotebook_project/static/

I read all the comments that you have here and tried a few (i.e granting permission) but to no avail. I hope someone can help me get this project finally working.

Excellent guide and what a well designed and functioning site UI/UX 5 *****

Thank you
