Summary
This post details how to set up a continuous delivery pipeline for Django projects using Bitbucket Pipelines and Ansible. It explains the configuration of `bitbucket-pipelines.yml` to automate deployment to a production environment upon pushing to the master branch. Key steps include installing Ansible within the pipeline, executing an Ansible playbook for deployment tasks (code update, dependency installation, database migration, static file collection, server restart), and setting up SSH key authentication between the pipeline and the target server. The post also touches upon the benefits of automation for reproducibility and error reduction.
