## Server configuration

Conservancy's webserver runs on a standard Debian installation. For
configuration requirements, see `deploy/ansible/install.yml`.


## CDN

Requests to any URL starting with `/videos/` are forwarded to our CDN server to
reduce bandwidth use. These files are uploaded to the CDN manually via the
Rackspace API. Note that the Apache rewrite rule requires that the file **not
exist** on disk for the redirect to be applied.


## Django setup

   'djangoadmin_password' is somewhere importable in the default
   PYTHON_PATH.


## Local development

Python dependencies are tied to the versions available in Debian.
