Switching to Nginx and Gunicorn: Updating My Blog's Web Server
in Dev Tools
When I first created this blog, I used Apache to handle all the web requests and serve static files. With this PR blogthedata.com has a new web server (Nginx) and application server (Gunicorn)!
Here's what I did:
1 - Export blogthedata database from postgres
2 - Shut down existing Ubuntu VM
3 - Create new Ubuntu VM
4 - Create new DNS A records in Cloudflare to redirect to the new IP address
5 - Follow this guide to install all the components.
6 - Re-run Certbot to install new HTTPS certificates
Done!
