I just released django-simple-deploy 0.8.0, which is the first release that uses external plugins. Nothing has really changed externally, but this is a huge step towards a stable 1.0 release. Here's the current usage for an automated deployment to Fly.io: #Django

All right, I just used the external Fly.io plugin for django-simple-deploy to make a full deployment. :) This was through an end to end test against the local development versions of the core project and the plugin, but most of the upcoming work should be much easier than what I've been working through. So satisfying! (And so much better than thinking about election results for a while longer.) #Django

I made a successful deployment to Fly.io this morning, with a version of simple_deploy where the fly-specific code is in an external plugin. This is *really* satisfying, because sorting out the packaging details that allow external plugins to work is the last major hurdle before a 1.0 release. Lots of small tasks left, but those should be quite manageable. Next step: move the project to an organization, and separate it into core, and three platform-specific plugins. #Django

We moved to Transylvania county in NC. Halloween is such a big deal here, kids get the entire day off from school, and there's no school tomorrow either. The calendar says "teacher work days", but I'm pretty sure those work days are scheduled to have no school on Halloween. 🤣
