Boilerplate-Docker-Django-Gunicorn-Nginx

This repo contains a small example for a Django App in a Docker Container. For the deployment the docker container uses Gunicorn and nginx.

The Dockerfile and the docker-compose-File are based on the repo from pawamoy. The config file includes a setup for an additional database, however this is not included in the docker-compose-File. If you would like to checkout the configuration for this setup have a look in the pawamoy-repo.

Manual

To build this container run in the folder of the docker-compose-file:

1. docker-compose build
2. docker-compose run -d this runs the containers detachted
3. Open you favourite browser and go to localhost/index/
4. To shutdown run docker-compsose down

Installing new libraries

Just run pipenv install your_library and the pipenv will update the pipfile and check for the dependencies. Make sure you have pipenv installed in your own (not the virtualenv one) python3 installation.

Static Files

Dockerfile

The static files are mounted wih the volumes of the docker-compose files! However if you change the static files make sure, you remove the volumes with docker volumes prune or run docker-compsose down -v. Those commands remove the volumes and if you run docker-compose build again the volumes will be mounted again correctly 😄 You can inspect all listed mounted files in the menu

Templates

To include the static files in your templates you can insert in e.g. in your header:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'demo/css/main.css' %} ">

You can also select another path, just make sure that the static files will be collect when the command python3 manage.py collectstatic will be run. In the current setting the static files are set via STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'demo', 'static'),].
