There's also a sample nginx config, and a gunicorn files in the `conf/` directory. That will show you how rocketman.learnwagtail.com is setup.

## Frontend development
Wagtail for Beginners does _not_ cover any of the frontend build. This was a conscious decision so the course can focus entirely on Wagtail and Django.

But if you want to extend the frontend you can get it setup with `npm i` and run any of the commands in the `package.json` file.
