After cloning or downloading the repository to your local machine:

  1. Install Docker: Ensure that Docker is installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the official Docker website: https://www.docker.com/get-started.

  2. Navigate to the project directory: Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you have cloned or downloaded the project.

  3. Build the Docker image: Run the following command to build the Docker image for the Django app:

    docker build -t django-docker-example .

    This command builds the Docker image using the provided Dockerfile in the project directory.

  4. Docker Compose: If you want to use Docker Compose for managing the app and the database, a docker-compose.yml file is provided in the repository. You can run the app and the database together using the following command:

    docker-compose up

    This command starts the containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

  5. Access the Django app: Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the Django app running inside the Docker container.
