Configuring Django Settings: Best Practices

Managing Django Settings: Issues

1- Sensitive data. You have SECRET_KEY in each Django project. This data cannot be stored in VCS.

2- Sharing settings between team members. You need a general approach to eliminate human error when working with the settings.

4- Django settings are a Python code. This is a curse and a blessing at the same time.

Separate settings file for each environment

Django Settings: Best practices

• Keep settings in environment variables.

• Write default values for production configuration (excluding secret keys and tokens).

• Don’t hardcode sensitive settings, and don’t put them in VCS.

• Split settings into groups: Django, third-party, project.

• Follow naming conventions for custom (project) settings.

How Does SSH Work

What is SSH

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a remote administration protocol that allows users to control and modify their remote servers over the Internet.

Understanding Different Encryption Techniques

• Symmetrical Encryption

Symmetric encryption is a form of encryption where a secret key is used for both encryption and decryption of a message by both the client and the host. Effectively,

• Asymmetrical encryption

Unlike symmetrical encryption, asymmetrical encryption uses two separate keys for encryption and decryption. These two keys are known as the public key and the private key.

• Hashing.

hashing is another form of cryptography used in Secure Shell Connections.
