This quickstart provides an easy way to initiate a Django project using Docker. It comes with pre-configured services including PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery (worker and beat), Nginx, and Traefik, ready to run a Django web application. Additionally, it provides a few handy shortcuts for easier development.
- Django web application framework
- PostgreSQL database
- Redis in-memory data structure store
- Celery worker and beat services for running background tasks asynchronously
- Nginx web server for serving static and media files, and proxying requests to the Django application
- Traefik reverse proxy for routing requests to the appropriate service and providing SSL termination
- Pytest: Testing framework
- Pytest Sugar: A pytest plugin for a better look
- Pytest Django: A pytest plugin providing useful tools for testing Django applications
- Coverage: Test coverage tool
- Ruff: Linter
- Black: Code formatter
- Docker & Docker Compose - Install and Use Docker
- Python 3.10 or higher
- Make (optional for shortcuts)
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/godd0t/django-docker-quickstart.git
-
Change directory into the project:
cd django-docker-quickstart
-
Copy the
env.example
file to.env
and update the values as needed:- For Linux/macOS:
cp env.example .env
- For Windows (Command Prompt):
Copy-Item -Path env.example -Destination .env
- For Linux/macOS:
-
Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
-
Activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
-
(Optional) Install the development requirements specific to your IDE for enhanced functionality and support.
pip install -r src/requirements-dev.txt
-
Build the image and run the container:
-
If buildkit is not enabled, enable it and build the image:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1 docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build -d
-
If buildkit is enabled, build the image:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build -d
-
Or, use the shortcut:
make build-dev
-
You can now access the application at http://localhost:8000. The development environment allows for immediate reflection of code changes.
-
Build the image and run the container:
-
If buildkit is not enabled, enable it and build the image:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1 docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d
-
If buildkit is enabled, build the image:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d
-
Or, use the shortcut:
make build-prod
-
This project includes several shortcuts to streamline the development process:
-
Create migrations:
make make-migrations
-
Run migrations:
make migrate
-
Run the linter:
make lint
-
Run the formatter:
make format
-
Run the tests:
make test
-
Create a super user:
make super-user
-
Build and run dev environment:
make build-dev
-
Build and run prod environment:
make build-prod
