Hey Eduardo, I should have taken more notes but my recollection is as follows:
Bad things with respect to digital ocean: - the "one click" django ubuntu image install did not work for me at all. - the django ubuntu digital ocean tutorial did not help with the databases and was pretty unnecessary because you can skip to the mezzanine installer - The postgres ubuntu tutorial was not so clear with respect to django; had to study the postgres site to get a handle on "roles" etc. Even then I had to do a lot of direct manipulation of roles and passwords to get the database working - the nginx / gunicorn tutorial was only partially integrated with the above; this also required a lot of guess work, I ended up reading several other sites. it was good for me to read the other sites but that indicates the tutorial is unclear. Good things: - the ssh certificate tutorial, well written - the mezzanine installer worked very well - pip, etc. of course The thing I ended up doing, which I strongly recommend, is to delete the digital ocean image and start the installation over every time it doesn't work. Trying to undo a mistake in configuration is much worse than starting from scratch. Eventually it will work. Now that its running, I haven't touched the underlying setup, so that is excellent. Open questions: - I haven't segmented our site in to a production / development server yet - The overall security tutorial is opaque though I have done most of the things it recommends Hope this helps!
