Deploying Static Python Website on Netlify

Netlify allows you to easily deploy and manage static websites.

Steps to Deploy

  1. Create a repository: Create a Git repository containing your static Python website code.

  2. Sign up for Netlify: If you don’t have an account, sign up at netlify.com.

  3. Connect your repository: Link your Git repository to Netlify.

    • In the Netlify dashboard, click on “New site from Git”.
    • Choose your Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket).
    • Select the repository with your static Python website code.
  4. Configure build settings: Set up build settings for your website.

    • Specify the build command for your project, if required.
    • Set the publish directory (usually dist or public).
    • Click “Deploy site” to start the deployment process.
  5. Domain settings: Configure your custom domain or use the auto-generated one provided by Netlify.

    • Go to the “Domain settings” section of your site dashboard.
    • Set up a custom domain or use the default Netlify subdomain.
    • If using a custom domain, configure DNS settings with your domain registrar.
  6. SSL/TLS: Secure your site with HTTPS using Let’s Encrypt.

    • Netlify provides free SSL/TLS certificates through Let’s Encrypt.
    • In the “Domain settings” section, click “SSL/TLS certificate” to set it up.
  7. Monitor deployment: Check the status of your deployment.

    • In the site dashboard, monitor the progress and status of your deployment.
    • Once the deployment is complete, your website is live and accessible via the specified domain.

With these steps, you can easily deploy and manage your static Python website on Netlify.
