Everything is bundled up in a single Docker Compose configuration. So, once you have Docker installed on your machine, all you need to do is run the command below.
$ docker-compose up -d --build
Activate the virtual environment, and install the Python dependencies.
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the development server, you can simply execute the runserver Django command just like any other django projects.
$ python manage.py runserver
To run the production server, you need to setup the environment variables first, then run gunicorn.
$ export DEBUG=False
$ gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 config.wsgi:application
