Deploy a FullStack Django & React App on a Linux VPS (HTTPS + CI/CD)

Deploy Django & React on a Linux VPS with HTTPS and CI/CD in this complete full production setup guide. In this video, we deploy the React frontend on the same Linux VPS as our Django REST API. By the end, you’ll have a fully working fullstack application live on the internet with automatic deployment. This builds on my previous Django backend deployment video. Watch that first before following along. 📺 Backend Deployment Video 👉 https://youtu.be/dr8QQxS-fek 🔗 Frontend Source Code 👉 https://github.com/CodeWithClinton/ai-summarizer-app 🔗 Backend Source Code 👉 https://github.com/CodeWithClinton/ai-review-summarizer ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:58 – SSH into the droplet & domain setup 00:09:08 – Copy React app to the Linux server 00:18:47 – Configure Nginx to serve the React app 00:25:37 – Add HTTPS (Free SSL) with Let’s Encrypt 00:30:10 – Automate deployment with GitHub Actions 00:45:43 – Connect the backend and frontend 00:54:28 – Final result This setup works on any Linux VPS (DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Linode, Hetzner, Vultr, etc.).
