Since the kids are doing Python, I think it’s time to show them how to build a self-hosted web site. Django comes to mind since it’s Python, and as an exercise we would expose it on my NGinx server.

Django tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/intro/tutorial01/

Django / NGinx tutorial: https://realpython.com/django-nginx-gunicorn/ -- focuses on serving from a VM (in this case amazon), and using WSGI Http Server via GUnicorn.

Another obvious way to run this would be to run Django’s python-http server and then proxy from NG to that server.

The advantage of that is that the python server can be hosted on another machine on the local network, so that shows a real example of a distributed environment, and is likely easier for the tutorial aspect of this exercise.
