source .venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic
sudo systemctl restart gunicorn
sudo systemctl reload nginx

1. activate python virtual environment for next calls of python
2. change database model if needed by executing migrations
3. copies static files to STATIC_ROOT (defined in settings.py) to which gunicorn looks and to which nginx has to look at
4. restarts gunicorn to update the server (needed, if code has changed - not if only staticfiles changed)
5. reloads nginx configuration (only needed, if nginx configuration changed)
