Is there any way to deploy a website made using Django to netlify?
Hey there,
not as such - Netlify is only really for the deployment of modern static sites.
More on that here:
that said, I found this thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/colbdd/is_it_possible_to_host_a_django_app_in_netlify/
if you are generating html files from a local django based SSG, you are totally able to create a site with those.
Hope this helps!
Yes, you can deploy a Django site to Netlify from Git repo using Cactus static site generator.
Here is a link to the guide: A Step-by-Step Guide: Cactus on Netlify
I hope it helped!

Yeah, I have followed the instructions in the guide. But got stuck at the GitHub-Netlify build stage. Netlify could not successfully locate /.build generated by Cactus in the GitHub repo.
I have searched for updates and solutions, can’t find any.
Hi there, I wonder if this is due to the fact that that blog article is quite old (4 years is obviously a long time in technology.)
I will definitely keep looking for additional solutions for you, but I don’t have anything concrete at the moment, I’m afraid.
It seems like this is possible with django-distill - they also have an example project here: GitHub - meeb/django-distill-example: An example fully working statically generated website using Django Distill
I’ll be trying that out sometime this week and will update this thread if I have success.
