This Dockerfile takes an existing Django app and deploys it for production using uWSGI and Nginx. I used most of the source code from https://github.com/dockerfiles/django-uwsgi-nginx, but I modified it to use Alpine instead of Ubuntu, the former being much lighter and in my opinion much cleaner.
I added a docker-compose file to ease deployment.
Copy the root of your Django project into the app folder, make sure to include a requirements.txt file.
You need to modify the following files:
- [uwsgi.ini]
Line module=your_app.wsgi:application.
your_appneeds to be the name of your django project, i.e. the folder name where wsgi.py lives. - [nginx-app.conf] Lines referring to static and media content. Use their full paths.
Then:
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up
If that succeds, then curl -vvv localhost:8113 should return something.
