Setting up the server for deployment

Hello organisers of PyCon India 2020! I hope this document helps you get up to speed next year.

To get started with deploying the website, you'll have to follow these steps(more or less):

Get access to the remote server. Get in touch with me or one of the organisers and we will help you out with this.
Configure the remote server to serve the website. This has to be done at the magudi repo. Here is a sample PR that you can use.
Use the steps here here to configure Travis to automatically deploy changes. You can refer to this PR.
In the inpycon2019 repo, during the CI job, we build the site and push the built files into the gh-pages branch. magudi is also configured to serve gh-pages instead of master. It is recommended to log into the remote server and switch to gh-pages branch once before the CI setup is merged to avoid merge conflicts.
To manually deploy, ssh into the server and run provision.
In addition to deploying the site, the provision command also updates magudi in the remote server.
