Hosting Guide¶
This part of the documentation is for server administrators who set up or maintain a server that hosts one or several Lino production sites.
The approaches described in this document are not mandatory. Hosting a Lino site is technically the same as hosting a Django project. If you are already hosting Django projects, you might prefer to use your existing system of approaches. But even experienced Django hosters might find interesting tricks or inspiration for their system by reading how we recommend to do it.
