Django and Docker Setup

Notes for learning how to set up Django with Docker, might constantly update it…

Using Docker

run all commands through Docker Compose

docker-compose run --rm app sh -c "python manage.py collectstatic"

• docker-compose runs a Docker Compose command
• run start a specific container defined in config
• --rm removes the container
• app the name of the service
• sh -c passes in a shell command
• " " command to run inside container

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.9" # version of docker-compose syntax

services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .. # build dockerfile in the current directory
    ports:
      - "8000:8000" # port 8000 in local machine : port 8000 in docker container
    volumes:
      - ./app:/app # sync the code between local project and container
    command: >  # command running in the service
      sh -c "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
