How it works...
An Ansible script (a playbook) is idempotent. It means that you can execute it multiple times and you will always get the same result: an up-to-date dedicated server with a Django website installed and running. If you have any technical hardware issues with the server and have backups of the database and media files, you can relatively quickly install the same configuration on another dedicated server.
The production deployment scripts do these things:
- Set a hostname for the virtual machine
- Upgrade the Linux packages
- Set the localization settings for the server
- Install all Linux dependencies including Python, Apache, PostgreSQL, Postfix, Memcached, and so on
- Create a Linux user and home directory for the Django project
