This chat server project makes use of Django channels which is an implementation of web sockets.
This project comes with a Docker file. This file can be built into a Docker image that will install the entire set up including Python3, Django 2 and any other dependencies.The resultant image also configures the code and starts the required services within the Docker container.
A sample VM that can be spawned with Vagrant is also provided. This VM has a Ubuntu Xenial image; the pre-requisite Docker package gets installed as part of this VM.
- To install the base VM :
cd pychat/
vagrant up
- If the base VM with Docker is already installed, we need to copy a particular directory structure into the host VM.
Under /vagrant directory of host VM, the following directory structure needs to be present:
├── setup
│ ├── docker
│ │ ├── Dockerfile
│ │
│ ├── target
│ │ └── scripts
│ │ ├── install_chatserver_container.sh
│ │ ├── install_chatserver_main.sh
│ │ ├── install_django2.sh
│ │ ├── install_python3.sh
│ │ ├── install_redis.sh
│ │ ├── install_vm.sh
│ │ └── start_pyserver.sh
│ └
├── src
│ └── chatproject
│
3.To build the Docker image and run the code:
cd /vagrant
dos2unix setup/target/scripts/install_chatserver_main.sh setup/target/scripts/install_chatserver_main.sh
chmod +x setup/target/scripts/install_chatserver_main.sh
setup/target/scripts/install_chatserver_main.sh
