Best or most common way to deploy Django web app?

Sometime around 2002 I had a Virtual Private Server (VPS) running Apache with static html files. I started throwing in PHP and JavaScript to make things a little more dynamic. I even had a MySQL DB for when members to login. I got out of the business around 2017.

Now just for fun, I've got another VPS and a little website just to play with. I've ripped all my CDs and want to have a web page (or a few) so anyone can search for songs or artists or albums. I'm only going to open this up to a few friends so I want to control it with login credentials. I've taken Udemy classes on full stack, React, node.js, Django, Docker, PostgreSQL, etc. There are so many choices now!

I plan to write it using Django and using sqlite3 as the DB. I plan to use Bootstrap CSS to make it look pretty. I don't think it will be too tough to make something look pretty good.

Now to deployment. When I've taken the classes, the deployment is always on some website (eg. pythonanywhere.com) and I'm not sure how to duplicate that on my own VPS. I've looked at using Docker

Is styling Django Allauth templates really this confusing ?

Or am I doing something wrong ?

I'm new to Django and so far it was a breeze until I got to using Allauth.

I am trying to style my login page and it I seem to be encourtering one problem after the other. I styled the sign in button with Bootstrap 5 and now the the forgot my password link is deformed.

I wouldn't want to go through this headache at all so I'm sure there must be some other way around this ...

Please help.

D Open source projects to contribute to as an ML research scientist

Hey everyone,
I have a few publications and patents and I work for a tier 2 company as Research scientist. Lately all my job applications have been rejected on the spot. Not even a first interview. I want to beef up my coding skills and be more attractive to employers. Maybe not having a huge github presence is hindering my prospects.

Can u please suggest opensource projects like SGLang or vLLm which I can contribute to? Any starting pointers?

OneCode — Python library to turn scripts into deployable apps

# What My Project Does

OneCode is an open-source Python library that lets you convert your scripts to apps with minimal boilerplate. Using simple decorators/parameters, you define inputs/outputs, and OneCode automatically generates a UI for you.

Github link is here: https://github.com/deeplime-io/onecode

On OneCode Cloud, those same apps can be deployed instantly, with authentication, scaling, and access controls handled for you.

The cloud platform is here: https://www.onecode.rocks/ (free tier includes 3 apps, 1Gb of storage and up to 5 hours of compute).

OneCode allows you to run the same code locally or on the cloud platform (one code ;)). You can connect your github account and automatically sync code to generate the app.

# Target Audience

Python developers who want to share tools without building a web frontend
Data scientists / researchers who need to wrap analysis scripts with a simple interface
Teams that want internal utilities, but don’t want to manage deployment infrastructure
Suitable for production apps (access-controlled, secure), but lightweight enough for prototyping and demos.

# Comparison

Unlike Streamlit/Gradio, OneCode doesn’t focus on dashboards, instead it auto-generates minimal UIs from your function signatures. OneCode cloud is also usable with long running compute, big machines are available, and compute is scalable with the number of users.

Deep dive into Hosting

Hey folks!

While building my own django project, I spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of VPS hosting and practical security. I ended up documenting everything I learned in a Medium article and thought it could help others too.

Newcomers: a friendly starting point for your Django hosting on Unmanaged VM.
Veterans: I’d love your suggestions, corrections, and anything I might’ve missed—please tear it apart!

Snakebar — a tqdm-style progress bar that snakes across your terminal

## What My Project Does
Snakebar is a tqdm-like progress bar for Python. Instead of a plain horizontal bar, it draws a one-character snake that fills your terminal via a random space-filling curve.
It still reports percentage, iterations done, ETA, and rate (it/s), but makes waiting more fun.

## Target Audience
Anyone who runs long scripts, pipelines, or training loops — data scientists, ML engineers, researchers, developers with heavy ETL or simulations.
It’s meant as a lightweight library you can drop in as a direct replacement for tqdm. It’s production-ready but also works fine as a fun toy project in personal scripts.

## Comparison
Compared to tqdm:
- Same semantics (snake_bar works like tqdm).
- Still shows % complete, ETA, and rate.
- Instead of a static bar, progress is visualized as a snake filling the screen.
- Fits automatically to your terminal size.

## Installation

  
pip install snakebar

How safe is building my own login VS using Flask-Login extension?

Someone said that Flask session can be easily hacked via console and, depending on the implementation, they can inject a user's detail to impersonate them. How real is this?

I don't like much Flask-Login, feels limiting and weird... but I might be the one weird for this lol.

Looking for a paid/unpaid software engineering internship.

Hey, I'm Youseph Zidan. I'm a Software Engineer with a track record of delivering over 25 freelance projects, including high-performance web scrapers and data pipelines. My practical skills are supported by a strong foundation in core programming principles, which I've honed through both development and teaching Python. For over a year, I have accelerated my growth through intensive mentorship from a Senior Engineer at a leading Silicon Valley tech company, focusing on industry best practices in system design and code architecture. I am eager to apply this unique blend of a builder's mindset, strong fundamentals, and high-level insight to a collaborative engineering team.

I recently developed a solution to a technical challenge I encountered: accurately downloading Street View panoramas. My project, Gspv-dl, is my take on building the most precise and reliable tool for this task.
