Django Docker Project

This is a sample Django project that has been containerized using Docker. It provides a basic structure to help you get started with running your Django application in a Docker container.

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following tools installed on your system:

Docker
Docker Compose (typically included with Docker for desktop systems)

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run your Django project using Docker:

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/budescode/django-docker.git
cd project

Create an .env file in the project and paste the env variables for the databse:
```
POSTGRES_DB=mydb
POSTGRES_USER=myuser
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword
```
Build and start the Docker containers:
```
docker-compose up --build
```
Your Django application should now be running in a Docker container. You can access it in your web browser at
```
http://localhost:8000. 
```
To stop the containers, run:
```
docker-compose down
```

Project Structure

The project structure follows a typical Django layout, with a few additional files and directories for Docker containerization:

Dockerfile: Specifies the instructions for building the Django application container. docker-compose.yml: Defines the services (containers) required for the application, including the web server and database. requirements.txt: Lists the Python packages and dependencies required for the Django application. .env: Configuration file for environment variables. static/: Static files for your project (CSS, JavaScript, etc.). media_cdn/: Media files (user uploads, images, etc.). templates/: HTML templates for rendering views.

Customization

You can customize this project by:

Modifying the Django application. Adjusting the Docker configuration in the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to suit your needs. Adding additional Django apps, models, and views as per your project requirements.
