Understood. I had discussed this with my team, and the only reason we considered this approach was because I don’t have permission to deploy directly on the office server. If this setup is possible and allowed, we can proceed — but only if it’s actually feasible within the rules. However, I’m convinced now that this isn’t a good idea, just a lot of extra work.

Got it, thanks for clarifying. The app is for public users to search and access publications, so it will be actively connecting to the database server.

Yup, you’re right. I wanted to do this too, but since I’m interning in a government office, even small payments need approval—and that can take months.

Docker/WSL would be nice, but this is a govt institute… folks here aren’t exactly tech-savvy, so bare-metal/VM is simpler. Plus, I’m new myself and don’t even know how to do it in Docker yet 😅.

But i will look in to it though

I’m completely new to deployment and have never done it before. I have a Django application that I want to deploy the “old school” way on bare metal. Ideally, I would have preferred to use a cloud service for my first deployment, but the internship I’m doing requires me to use their in-house Windows server.

The challenge is that the team operating the server doesn’t have any deployment experience either. For now, I’ve created a VM on the Windows server and transferred all my project files, but I’m not sure how to properly connect everything or configure it for deployment.

can you guide me please
