provision ubuntu server to host django site using nginx and gunicorn

commands.sh

# this command is necessary to tell Systemd to load our new config file
elspeth@server:$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

# this command tells Systemd to always load our service on boot
elspeth@server:$ sudo systemctl enable gunicorn-superlists-staging.ottg.eu

# this command actually starts our service
elspeth@server:$ sudo systemctl start gunicorn-superlists-staging.ottg.eu

# Check the Systemd logs for using 
sudo journalctl -u gunicorn-superlists-staging.ottg.eu.

# You can ask Systemd to check the validity of your service configuration: 
systemd-analyze verify /path/to/my.service.

# Remember to restart both services whenever you make changes.
# If you make changes to the Systemd config file, you need to run daemon-reload before systemctl restart to see the effect of your changes.
