I’ve recently built a web app (see it here) using Django and deployed it through DigitalOcean.

There are many wonderful reasons to use DigitalOcean, but updating is not one of them. Because it is a cloud hosting provider and not a PaaS like AWS Elastic Beanstalk, the updating process is 100% your problem.

Plus, if you’ve also deployed with DigitalOcean, you might have realized that there are very few resources on how to run updates. That’s where I come in.

I’ve written about this process in my detailed walkthrough of how I built my website (which you can read below if you’d like to), but I wanted to elaborate on this to help fill in the knowledge gap for beginners like myself.
