Access local vagrant VM through a Django app running locally - python

Context: I am playing around with Django and Vagrant and I would like to see if I can have them interact with each other where a Django app running locally can access a local Vagrant VM.
I have a Django app that I'm running locally using python manage.py runserver and I have a Vagrant VM that is up and running somewhere on my local machine in path/to/local/vagrant/vm. I would like to ssh and/or execute commands on the aforementioned local Vagrant VM through the Django app. Is that such thing possible? If so, how? If not, then how can I achieve something similar where I can have a Django app interact with a local VM.
The Django app and the Vagrant VM are independent in that the app is not running inside the VM.

How to make django globally available

How can I make my Django project accessible via internet?
When I execute the project in Windows OS by typing with a disabled firewall it works and reachable via the internet.
But in Linux OS it does not. I tried the same actions. Executed it by typing and made sure my firewall is disabled
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The expected result is that project is accessible via the internet like in windows OS
you must deploy your app in one server. I recommend you pay for one VPS like digitalocean. And dont run you app with runserver. Runserver is only for development. Use one wsgi like gunicorn.
If you not want pay for this service. You can use heroku

I recommend use docker. Docker possibilite you development and deploy same envoriment

How is Django running on Windows machine?

I have a machine that I inheritied at work. The previous user setup a small Python/Django web app that we all have access to within our LAN. However, I don't understand how it is running. If I reboot the machine the web app stays accessible as "IP_ADDRESS:8000/myapp", but I don't see a scheduled Windows Task that calls manage.py and I don't see any obvious services running that would be hosting it. Is there any way I can find this out?

Why can't I get access to environment variables from Python through Apache server?

I have a Flask web app that I'm trying to run on webfaction. The application runs fine through Gunicorn and the test server, but I can't get it to work with Apache.
I've narrowed it down to the lack of access to environment variables. If I run the app with Gunicorn, the environment variables are correct and the app works correctly. If I run the app with Apache, I can't access the environment variables.
Note: the environment variables are set correctly and exported correctly, so that's not where the issue lies. Again, it works perfectly, only not with Apache.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Deploying Django app to AWS EC2 using Nginx and Gunicorn

I am a newbie to web I developed a small web app using python and Django things are working fine with local development server. Now I want to deploy my app to an AWS EC2 instance with Nginx and Gunicorn. Every tutorial I found on the internet explains things using a linux platform. Unfortunately, I am using a windows.
I have never used Git or Linux, will I be able to do things from Windows machine itself?
Use PUtty and follow this.
After connecting to you linux instance everything command will be on linux.
It does not matter which platform you are using, just make sure on AWS, you should create linux instace and follow those tutorial on deploying with gUnicorn and Nginx.

django remote development server doesn't reload py file

I'm running django development server remotely using
python manage.py 0.0.0.0:8000
The project is available through Dropbox. I make the changes locally in my system and they are available to my testers when I checkin code to Dropbox folder.
The problem I'm facing is that the development server does not reload the code automatically. It somehow keeps running the same old code.
The development server on the same machine run on 127.0.0.1:8001 behaves as expected.
Is there a way to force reloading of files when django development server is run remotely?
Thanks for the help.
