Project description:
"I need a clear, intermediate-level, step-by-step guide that takes me from a fresh Ubuntu server at Hostinger all the way to a live Django site running behind Nginx with HTTPS enabled. I already own the domain, but please still outline best-practice DNS changes so the guide works for readers who may start without one.
I've also already got a Ubuntu Server and CloudPanel setup

Scope of the walkthrough

• Initial server hardening and package updates on Ubuntu 22.04.
• Creating a Python environment, installing Django, and setting up a sample project.
• Configuring Gunicorn (or uWSGI if you feel that fits CloudPanel better) and wiring it to Nginx reverse proxy through CloudPanel.
• Issuing Let’s Encrypt certificates via CloudPanel so the site loads over HTTPS from day one.
• Pointing the domain’s A/AAAA records and, if needed, the CNAME to the new server.
• Where to find and rotate logs for Nginx, Gunicorn/uWSGI, Django, and CloudPanel itself.
• Any CloudPanel-specific tweaks or pitfalls you have run into.

Deliverable
A single document (Markdown or PDF) that someone comfortable with the Linux command line but new to CloudPanel can follow without getting stuck. Code blocks, file paths, and sample commands must be copy-paste ready and explained in plain language right after each block.

Acceptance criteria
The guide should build successfully on a clean Hostinger VPS, serve the default Django page over HTTPS, and let me tail logs for web, app, and OS-level events.

If this sounds like a fun write-up, I look forward to working with you!" (client-provided description)
