I'm trying to deploy a django project with NGINX and gunicorn. I keep getting 502 Bad Gateway. I've been working nonstop on this for the past few days and I can't seem to get this deployed. I've gone through 3 tutorials on Digital Ocean, but they aren't correct, obviously.
I keep getting 502 bad gateway, or if I try to use manage.py runserver, I get 400 bad request.
I think my problem is with gunicorn. When I enter gunicorn -config, it says
usage: gunicorn [OPTIONS] [APP_MODULE] gunicorn: error: No application module specified.
Every bit of documentation I can find says to simply type gunicorn wsgi:application, but when I do, it says "workers failed to boot." How do I set an application module?

Gunicorn is an application server. Gunicorn implements the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI), which is a standard interface between web server software and web applications.
Technically, you don't really need Nginx. BUT it's the Internet: your server will receive plenty of malformed HTTP requests which are made by bots and vulnerability scanner scripts. Now, your Gunicorn process will be busy parsing and dealing with these requests instead of serving genuine clients.
Assuming you have nginx proxying to port 8001, you want to do this:
gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8001 your_project_name.wsgi:application
You need to run that from your project folder (where the manage.py file is)
