Local development setup

Fork this repo into your own GitHub space.

Clone this project as proj:

git clone git@github.com:[your_username]/celery-docker-example.git proj

Note to add proj to the end of the command so it clones onto your machine with a shorter, easier-to-type name.

Make a Python 3.6.x virtual environment and install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting up docker-compose

Using a virtual environment, even when using Docker, is useful so you have easy access to your dependecies and are still isolated from other projects.

Assuming you have Docker and docker-compose installed, activate your virtual environment and run

docker-compose up

database initialization

After staring images, do:

docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py migrate
docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py createsuperuser
