Production Deployment Setup

[frinzekt]

Basic Information

We need something that automatically sets up the production deployment.

Below are my recommendations
These are what we need for backend:

• nginx setup to serve django admin and API
• docker compose that includes 3 containers (database, nginx, backend api, watchtower)
• github actions automatically building and sending the backend container
• I recommend watchtower to handle the continuous deployment (so when there's a new container, the new container is boot up atuomatically)

Other Information

Refer to previous project https://github.com/codersforcauses/csf/blob/main/docker-compose-prod.yml . CSF has everything.

If I were to change that, it is to specify a specific version for postgres. Not specifying the version means that we risk incompatibility when there's a new postgres image available.

Skip frontend deployment... Let's just do it in vercel.
We can create an alternative docker compose in the future, but no priorities on that for now

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for creating the issue frinze!
