Re: Deployment Conundrum
Thanks for your answer, I actually follow you on twitter so it's funny to get some "face time". Anyway, what I mean by replicating Heroku is specifically the deployment workflow - not the scaling side of things. I have personally already set up deployment on a physical linux box we have here in the office using fabric, git, nginx and gunicorn, so I have at least some idea on what I want to achieve. I guess the main problem is getting fabric to work with Windows, which to my knowledge, isn't possible. Does Windows have a remote access protocol similar to SSH, through which I can run deployment commands?

Re: Deployment Conundrum
Thanks, I'm aware of that option (I rent a Linode box myself), but according to my boss there's absolutely no way to pay for external web services.

Deployment Conundrum
Hello, I'm working in a non-profit organization. It's a design archive and research institute based in Israel. We're developing (me actually, the only developer) a Django website to replace our ASP/MS-Access horrible system. To the point - the only server I am allocated by the IT department is a Windows 2008 server. I'm currently working with Heroku, and needless to say, deployment is a breeze. (Would love to stay with it, except I don't have the budget to pay for heroku/s3) I realize I can run apache as a server, or even IIS. But how do I go about replicating heroku's deployment process (with git)? Is it viable to install a Ubuntu server virtual machine on top of the Windows installation? Does anyone have experience with it? I apologize if this post is confusing, I am myself a little confused...

Re: Using a drop down list as widget for filter in admin
Thanks Ibrahim, I was searching google for a solution and was sent here -
it was simply perfect. (should be merged to be honest!)
