Django Boilerplate

This project is going to be a template for starting django projects. and will cover:

Setup project

Install dependencies

Install development environment packages and dependencies:

pip install -r requirements/requirements-dev.txt

Install pre-commit git hook

pre-commit install

Load configs using `env` file

Copy .sample_env file into .env and update the values.

How to generate requirements-dev.txt file with pip-compile

pip-compile --output-file=requirements/requirements-base.txt requirements/requirements-base.in
pip-compile --output-file=requirements/requirements-base.txt requirements/requirements-dev.in

How to build docker images.

We have two scripts in deploy/scripts directory to make build process easier in CI/CD. but we can also use them during development.

First of all set required variables

There is a file called values_sample.sh in deploy/scripts. rename this file and make sure to add it to .gitignore.

This file content is:

export DOCKER_REGISTRY="index.docker.io";
export DOCKER_USER="";
export DOCKER_PASS="";

export BASE_IMAGE_REPO="mirzakhani/django_boilerplate_base";
export IMAGE_REPO="mirzakhani/django_boilerplate";

DOCKER_REGISTRY: is to set your docker register address, default address will work for dockerhub.

DOCKER_USER and DOCKER_PASS are used to login to your docker registry. !!! Again don't forget to put this file in .gitignore !!!

BASE_IMAGE_REPO and IMAGE_REPO are your images repositories. but why two docker image?

Build images

First load settings.

source ./deploy/scripts/.values.sh

Then build base image.

./deploy/scripts/build_base_image.sh

And finaly build project docker image:

./deploy/scripts/build_image.sh

Why two docker image

If you check deploy folder you will find a docker file named BaseDockerfile. in this docker file we will install our project requirements. so we will not need to install them every time we make final project docker image, and this will save alots of time for use in delivery our code to live environment.
