Deploying Wagtail
-----------------

On your server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wagtail is straightforward to deploy on modern Linux-based distributions, but see the section on :doc:`performance </advanced_topics/performance>` for the non-Python services we recommend.

Our current preferences are for Nginx, Gunicorn and supervisor on Debian, but Wagtail should run with any of the combinations detailed in Django's `deployment documentation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/>`_.

On PythonAnywhere
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`PythonAnywhere <https://www.pythonanywhere.com/>`_ is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) focused on Python hosting and development. It allows developers to quickly develop, host, and scale applications in a cloud environment. Starting with a free plan they also provide MySQL and PostgreSQL databases as well as very flexible and affordable paid plans, so there's all you need to host a Wagtail site. To get quickly up and running you may use the `wagtail-pythonanywhere-quickstart <https://github.com/texperience/wagtail-pythonanywhere-quickstart>`_.

On other PAASs and IAASs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know of Wagtail sites running on `Heroku <http://spapas.github.io/2014/02/13/wagtail-tutorial/>`_, Digital Ocean and elsewhere. If you have successfully installed Wagtail on your platform or infrastructure, please :doc:`contribute </contributing/index>` your notes to this documentation!
