django-nginx-gunicorn-docker

This docker-compose setup is everything you need to get a django-nginx-gunicorn webserver up and running. This guide is an adaption of andrecp's guide.

Installation

1. Place your project root in django-nginx-gunicorn-docker/app
2. Copy over the app/requirements.txt to django-nginx-gunicorn-docker/requirements.txt, keep the first lines of the original though. (TODO, must be a better way? Script?)
3. In most cases you'll be fine with sqlite server for testing, but you can use this docker-compose for deploying just as well. In that case read further.
4. Change the django-nginx-gunicorn-docker/Dockerfile to read "<name_of_django_app>.wsgi:application" where appropriate.
5. Run the rebuild_docker.sh

Nginx will now be serving from port 80.
