Okay, so.. I've never used this set of programs, so please be nice. I help a guy out with his hosted application on dreamhost. I mostly edit some HTML and python. However, it's pretty legacy and it's running phusion/passenger. It's a django site, but I don't think it's "deployed correctly" with django.
Typically, I copy everything locally, make edits and run the application manually with something like: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --verbosity 3
I then just copy over the changes.. However, some of the python modules are REALLY old. I wanted to try and update them.
When I update django in my dev environment the application works fine. However, when I update django on the dreamhost environment the application bombs. (I do not have the exception handy)
So, I want to more accurately reproduce this environment.
I've built a docker container with apache, passenger, etc.
I'd like to figure out how to put this application into the passanger environment so I can reproduce the environment. But I simple don't know how - and the amount of Googling i've done has not helped.
