django-auto-deploy VS django-compressor

django-auto-deploy - deploy website on a DO droplet

You might be interested in a bash script I created that automatically installs Nginx, Gunicorn, virtual environment, sFTP user, DB server, Django, etc., and configures it for a specific domain. It allows you to install multiple websites on a server without the need to manually set up Gunicorn, database, Nginx, and so on for every website.

You can try this bash script do deploy multiple Django websites with a simple command: https://github.com/jdbit/django-auto-deploy

The bash script is available on Github. I have tested it on an Ubuntu droplet, but it should work on other Debian-based Linux distributions. You can download it from GitHub and run the script on your server with a single command:

In general, you can use almost any plain JS library by simply loading it in your view template. For forms specifically, you can write custom widgets and define dependencies to libraries via form assets. django-compressor might be worth a look if you go heavy on this.

Idk, it depends on how much you care about the page loading time. Even without the PurgeCSS filter, I would recommend the Django Compressor app. I use it on all my websites. It automatically merges your css/js files and minifies them (removes white spaces, comments, etc.). It also creates a unique name for the combined CSS so if you changed your CSS files, your users will always see the fresh version, not the cached by the browser one.

django_compressor - for merging and minimizing css and js assets

django-compressor with django-libsass for auto sass compilation

But isn't that what you have django-compressor for?

The external dependencies were downloaded into the static/ folder containing all frontend assets using yarn and a package.json. Other than that, yarn was not used. Next I ran a bash script that removed all files I did not need, keeping the javascript, css and font files that should be served. In html, these files where directly included. I knew that loading many files is bad, so I used django-compressor to combine them into one big file. Conveniently, this tool also provided me with a way to compile scss.
