Dockerizing a Django project (Postgres + Gunicorn + Nginx)

How to use this

Development

Everything default but Postgres

1. Update all the environment variables in the env. and docker-compose.yml files.

2. Build the images and run the containers:

   $ docker-compose up --build

   The dev server will be available on http://localhost:8000

Remake the project

You can remake the Django project inside ./app once the docker container is running. This script will regenerate a new project, clean and rebuild the container.

1. (Optional) Update ./app/requirementes.txt versions.

2. Execute:

   $ chmod +x remake_project.sh
   $ sudo ./remake_project.sh <project_name>

Production

Postgres + gunicorn + nginx.

1. Update all the environment variables in the env. files.

2. Build the images and run the containers:

   $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build

   The production server will be available on http://localhost:1337.
   There is no bind mounts here, only volumes, so for any changes in the code to take effect, the container must be rebuilt.
