DevOps: Setting up VPS, CI/CD, and deploying the site on the server - production
Title: DevOps: Setting up VPS, CI/CD, and deploying a Fullstack project (Django + React/TS)
We are looking for a specialist to deploy a "turnkey" web project on our server.
Stack: Backend — Django, Frontend — React + TypeScript. The database is currently running locally in Docker. The code is in a private Git repository.
Budget: I am looking at market offers. Please specify your price for the full scope of work (including CI/CD and documentation).
Main tasks:
Preparing VPS: Setting up a clean Ubuntu server (22.04/24.04 LTS).
Security optimization (Firewall, SSH keys).
Docker infrastructure: Setting up Docker Compose to connect Django + PostgreSQL + Nginx + React.
Frontend & Backend: Building and launching both parts. Setting up static files and media.
SSL Certificate: Setting up HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt) with auto-renewal.
CI/CD: Setting up automatic deployment from GitHub (branch: main) via GitHub Actions.
Documentation: Compiling a detailed plan/instructions for deployment and project management (what to do in case of failure, how to update manually).
Technical documentation: Compiling a detailed
README.mdfile in the repository. The instructions should include: commands for manually restarting containers, path to logs, procedure for creating/restoring database backups, and description of the configured CI/CD.
Technical requirements:
Deep knowledge of Docker / Docker Compose.
Experience with Nginx (setting up reverse proxy).
Understanding the specifics of deploying Django (gunicorn, whitenoise, etc.).
Ability to write clean and understandable Workflows for GitHub Actions.
In your response description, please indicate:
How long will it take to set up from scratch to a working link?
Have you previously worked specifically with the Django + React architecture?
What do you recommend for monitoring the server status (basic)?

Good day. I am ready to complete your task. Write to me.
It's hard to say about the time - my estimate is 5 days.
I have worked with such connections (react+next+fastapi+laravel etc).
Basic monitoring can be done with notifications in TG + Cloud Grafana.

Hello, I can prepare a deployment of Django + React/TypeScript on an Ubuntu VPS.
I will create a Docker Compose for Django, PostgreSQL, Nginx, and React, configure static/media, SSL via Let's Encrypt, environment configuration, and launch from a private Git. I will also write GitHub Actions for updates from main.
In the end, I will leave a README with commands for restarting, viewing logs, manual updates, and basic service checks after deployment.

Good day, I have experience in deploying various projects, setting up CI/CD, and implementing DevOps principles. I will help you deploy your project on a VPS. I will configure Docker, SSL, create documentation, and set up CI/CD through Github Actions. It will take from 1 to 3 days. For monitoring, you can basically set up Prometheus + Grafana.

My CV https://mksscryertower.quest/Curriculum%20Vitae%20of%20Klimenko%20Maxim%20Sergievich.html
In terms of time, it will take about a week, considering other commitments. I have encountered Django and worked at a company that developed products with this framework. Not basic are Grafana and Prometheus with Loki, and what is meant by basic - a script for uptime and a few metrics? This can be discussed. Regarding payment - I have an hourly rate, and I can accurately calculate the hours spent, and payment will be based on that.

Good day! I will set everything up turnkey in 3–4 days: server, Docker, SSL, CI/CD with GitHub, and documentation. I have experience working with Django + React. For monitoring, I recommend UptimeRobot + Sentry — this is more than enough to get started, and both services have free plans.

I understand your task - it is necessary to set up a VPS, CI/CD, and deploy your project on the server. This includes not only basic configuration but also security optimization, Docker setup, integration of Django and React, as well as detailed documentation. Given the scope of work, this is not a simple task, as it is important to correctly implement the connection between components and ensure stable operation. I propose to set everything up from scratch, integrating all necessary elements so that the project runs flawlessly.
In terms of risks, I want to highlight the need to configure server security to avoid potential vulnerabilities, as well as the importance of writing clear documentation that should be understandable even for those who are working on the project for the first time. When performing such work, it is important to think through recovery scenarios in case of failures and have clear instructions for updates.
As the next step, I would like to clarify what monitoring you plan to use to control the server's status and how often you will perform database backups? This will help better plan the project. The defined budget for such work, taking into account all complexities and details, will be 23,000 hryvnias, and the execution time will be 2 days.

Good day. I am taking on the deployment "turnkey" on Ubuntu: Docker Compose (backend + Postgres + Nginx + built frontend), HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt) with continuation, reverse proxy, static/media, GitHub Actions on main for expected deployment from a private repo and README/runbook (restart containers, logs, backup/restore DB, pipeline description).
Why me: I already manage several services in production monorepo on FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Compose (separate docker-compose, healthcheck, secrets via .env / env.example), React (Vite) as an admin panel in one compose with API, integrations with external systems, and operational docs (runbook, prod plan, hardening). I also maintain a monitoring stack: Prometheus + Grafana + Blackbox + Alertmanager in Compose, node_exporter on servers with scrape limitation by IP, alerts in Slack — so after launch, you won't be left "in the dark".
Technical requirements (briefly):
Docker / Compose — daily practice on real services; multi-container stacks, volumes, restarts, updates via git pull + compose up.
Nginx reverse proxy — proxy to the backend, serving static frontend, preparing for TLS; typical vhost patterns I already use in other deployments.
Django (Gunicorn, Whitenoise) — I have no direct experience with Django, but it is the same class of tasks as ASGI/WSGI via reverse proxy + static: Gunicorn behind Nginx, a separate volume/directory for media, collectstatic + Whitenoise or serving static via Nginx - I will set it up according to your option in compose.
… GitHub Actions - I write simple, readable workflows: build/test, deployment via SSH or pull on the server.
Answers to your questions:
Time from scratch to a working link: approximately 1–2 working days, if there are no extra surprises (domain already on DNS, access to the server and repo is ready).
Django + React: React + backend API in Docker — yes (admin panel/frontend on Vite + API in one stack). Django as a framework — I transfer the same deployment pattern (Gunicorn, env, migrations, static/media, Nginx).
Monitoring (basic): node_exporter + Prometheus + Grafana or Uptime Kuma, plus Blackbox for key URLs/health and alerts in Slack/Telegram; if needed — postgres_exporter for DB. This provides disk/CPU/RAM, service availability, and a simple signal "something has crashed".
