Hi,
[...] I would like to automate the installation process from scratch to a django development platform. But forgot to note every modification from the very beginning. ^^ :)I'm not sure what you mean by "development platform", but for standardized/customized development/testing environments, vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com/) is quite useful. It makes it very easy to create, use, and share custom virtual machines.
Actually I didn't know vagrant but I was going to use ansible to do about the
same job. The vagrant documentation provides an explanation on how to use them as a synergy so : thank you ! ;)
The only downside is that it is not configured very securely by default.
The less scripting I need to do the better, anyway. :) Lots of reading to come.. -- “One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings.” “Le vrai n'est pas plus sûr que le probable.” Diogene Laerce
