Stanford Medicine Django Template

This is a cookiecutter template for Django, meaning that it is a skeleton to get started with an application.

If you have problems with the template, please open issues.

Skeleton Generation

The generation of your application base is done via a docker image, and will go into a folder that you map as a volume. Thus, you would want to clone this repo:

  git clone http://www.github.com/vsoch/som-django
  cd som-django

Build your Application

Then you will want to edit cookiecutter.json to fit your application needs. Then, build the image.

  docker build -t vanessa/som-django .

Once you are ready to generate your application, run the image, make an output folder for your application, and be sure to map the folder that you want to have your application output files to as a volume:

  mkdir /tmp/build
  docker run --volume /tmp/build:/build vanessa/som-django

The resulting application will then be found in /tmp/build.

Application starting

Let's first go to our build location, and generate the main image.

  cd /tmp/build

This is where you should also set up a github repo (or other version control) for your application. Next, build the image. It will correspond to the name of the application folder. Eg, somdb --> vanessa/somdb

  docker build -t vanessa/somdb .

You can change any and all names of your docker images in the docker-compose.yml.
