Django people who deploy to a VPS: What is your current setup?

I've always used Ubuntu, Postgres, gunicorn, and nginx. But I'm curious how people have deviated from that approach.

Mostly thinking about small to medium projects, which run from a single server.

@ehmatthes usually Debian, Caddy, SQLite and gunicorn. Postgres if SQLite doesn’t do the trick.

Lately I started building a Docker image mostly for convenience and to not having to deal with system dependencies. But it still feels very much optional and like unnecessary overhead.

@fallenhitokiri The first version of the plugin I'm building is going to support Postgres, but it's going to have a `--db` arg where you can specify postgres or sqlite.
