docker-django-postgres-rest
This repo follows the testdrive.io post on Dockerizing Django with Postgres except for the first part on installing django on the host machine. Here, we bypass that step by setting up the docker container first, then running django from inside it.
Initial setup
- Make sure docker and docker-compose is installed on your computer
docker -v
docker-compose -v
- Checkout this repo
git clone <repo url>
- Create .env.dev from .env.dev-sample
cp .env.dev-sample .env.dev
- Build the image and run the containers
docker-compose up -d --build
- Run the default migrations from within the web container (prefix commands with
docker-compose exec web)
docker-compose exec web python manage.py migrate
- Now we're ready to add apps to django. Follow the Django REST Framework examples for a start. Skip the setup until
python manage startapp
docker-compose exec web python manage.py startapp <app name>
Branches
Dev
This branch stops after setting up the development environment
Main
This is essentially the Dev branch, with an added step of installing Django REST Framework. This is should be the starting point for development.
Prod
This branch finishes the tutorial with gunicorn, nginx, serving static files, and image uploads.
Drf-*
These branches follow the Django REST Framework tutorials, using the Main branch as a base.
