Dockerizing Django App

This is a sample code for dockerizing your django application with Postgres. We'll add on Nginx and Gunicorn as well.

Dependencies

• Django v3.2.6
• Docker v20.10.8
• Python v3.9.6

Usage

Following are the required steps to use this platform.

• Clone the repo
• Update the .env file
• Build the image

$ docker-compose build

• Once the image is built, run the container

$ docker-compose up

Bonus

If you want to ssh the container you can use the makefile

$ make ssh

then you can use all the django commands.

To generate static files for Django Admin, use:

$ docker-compose exec app python manage.py collectstatic --no-input --clear
