Spin up docker containers with all the necessary dependencies. You will need docker-compose installed on your system:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml build $ docker-compose -f local.yml up -d
The last command will spin up the containers and the website will be accessible through http://localhost:8000. If you remove the -d, you will see the logs on screen, but the website will run only while your terminal is open.
Since we are using Wagtail as a CMS, we need to start by creating a super user:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py createsuperuser
Follow the steps on screen, and then head to http://localshot:8000/cms to log in.
This website can be deployed using Docker. It will set up Django behind a Gunicorn worker, Traefik as a reverse proxy, Celery and Redis which are currently not in used in this project, but available in case they are needed.
Create a folder called .production in .envs, add two files: .django and .postgres. The Django config file should hold the settings for the website:
DJANGO_READ_DOT_ENV_FILE=True DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=config.settings.production DJANGO_SECRET_KEY= DJANGO_ADMIN_URL= DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS= DJANGO_SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT=False MAILGUN_API_KEY= DJANGO_SERVER_EMAIL= MAILGUN_DOMAIN= MAILGUN_API_URL= DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME= DJANGO_ACCOUNT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=True WEB_CONCURRENCY= REDIS_URL= CELERY_FLOWER_USER= CELERY_FLOWER_PASSWORD=
And the postgres:
POSTGRES_HOST= POSTGRES_PORT= POSTGRES_DB= POSTGRES_USER= POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
$ docker-compose -f production.yml build $ docker-compose -f production.yml up -d
