I have been thinking long and hard about making this post and after hours of Google searches I couldn't come up with any good sources so thought I'd ask here.
I am relatively new to coding, started early this year and started a software programming degree so I am super keen to learn. I have managed to make a fully working project that works on shared hosting but doesn't allow me to use latest packages and modules that is why I upgraded to a VPS. But editing my project on cPanel on a shared hosting was alot less scary than what I'm attempting now.
I've recently purchased a VPS to host my first django project I'm building for my father, the project is basically a gallery that allows him to upload a blog and images. I had a standard shared hosting plan which was fine but I couldn't use latest python and django on it.
So what I want to ask is; what is the common practice for starting off with building a project on ubuntu? In my head it was building it on VSCode and just transferring it to ubuntu, linking it to my domain and BAM.
I've found writing the code very tedious and difficult on ubuntu terminal, using cd to go in and out of folders, copy and paste not working etc. so Is writing it on local pc using VSCode acceptable?
How would static files be stored for my father when he uploads his images/blogs, do they store on the VPS or do I need to link something like AWS which is what I really wanted to avoid when getting a VPS.
I would even appreciate just a step by step list of a common procedure for a project as I have described above.
I appreciate anybody and everybody who is willing to give up some time to help me here.
Many Thanks.
