refresher, best method to run a django web app with mod wsgi?

[js]

hey im launching a website for school project. i could just use a refresher on the best way to set up a stable website. ive done this before but im not entirely clear from the docs at https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/index.html

Im running ubuntu 18 x64 on digital ocean, i installed apache2 and mysql.  i set up a django project at /var/www/djang0 . i set up a python3 venv here. i pip3 installed

django django-ckeditor django-safedelete mock mod-wsgi pillow

I believe i need some redirect for my site to force SSL.

Here are previous config files.  the doc says i dont necesarrily have to manually set up apache conf files, but Im skeptical (due to ssl redirect and my domain)

1.  could you advice on best way to configure this to serve my django web app for a longer term stable website? note since python deprecated the venv command, there is no venv folder,

there is bin, lib, share folders and a pyvenv.cfg file.  so would i change the daemon process path to ' python-home=/var/www/djang0/bin '  ?

2.   do i need to load a wsgi file? add the confs to /etc/apache2/sites-available, then a2enmod djang0 to enable. run cerbot for ssl after this to apply the ssl configuration?  many thanks

1.  could you advice on best way to configure this to serve my django web app for a longer term stable website? note since python deprecated the venv command,

Not sure if you are misinterpreting things.

Deprecated since version 3.6: pyvenv was the recommended tool for creating virtual environments for Python 3.3 and 3.4, and is deprecated in Python 3.6.

Changed in version 3.5: The use of venv is now recommended for creating virtual environments.

The env command wasn't deprecated. The pyvenv command was.

You can still use:

    python -m venv

there is no venv folder,

there is bin, lib, share folders and a pyvenv.cfg file.  so would i change the daemon process path to ' python-home=/var/www/djang0/bin '  ?

2.   do i need to load a wsgi file? add the confs to /etc/apache2/sites-available, then a2enmod djang0 to enable. run cerbot for ssl after this to apply the ssl configuration?  many thanks

These are all things I can't help with as they are specific to your Linux distribution as to how they are handled.

In general, I would suggest making sure you read:

https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/virtual-environments.html

and watch:
