Ensure your STATIC_ROOT is set well. Then run the following command:<\/h4>\n\n\n\npython3 manage.py collectstatic<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nLet’s allow access to our port through the firewall.<\/h4>\n\n\n\nufw allow 8090<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can test your project by starting up the Django development server with this command:<\/h4>\n\n\n\npython3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8090<\/strong><\/div><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn your web browser, visit your domain name.

We need to set up Gunicorn to as a more robust way to start or stop our site.

[Unit]\nDescription=gunicorn socket\n\n[Socket]\nListenStream=\/run\/gunicorn.sock\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=sockets.target<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen create and open a systemd service file for Gunicorn<\/h5>\n\n\n\nnano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/gunicorn.service<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCopy\/paste this code there. Change the bold parts to match your application i.e user to your site user, directory to your root directory and wsgi application to directory where the wsgi file is found (exclude the root directory).

We need to set up Gunicorn to as a more robust way to start or stop our site. First, deactivate from virtual environment and create a Gunicorn socket:<\/h4>\n\n\n\ndeactivate<\/strong>\nnano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/gunicorn.socket<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCopy\/paste this code there then save the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Unit]\nDescription=gunicorn socket\n\n[Socket]\nListenStream=\/run\/gunicorn.sock\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=sockets.target<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen create and open a systemd service file for Gunicorn<\/h5>\n\n\n\nnano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/gunicorn.service<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCopy\/paste this code there.
