This repo contains code to spin up a boilerplate Django project with Docker Compose.
It will be hosted locally using Gunicorn and Nginx containers.
Run services in the background:
docker-compose up -d
Run services in the foreground:
docker-compose up --build
Inspect volume:
docker volume ls
and
docker volume inspect <volume name>
Prune unused volumes:
docker volume prune
View networks:
docker network ls
Bring services down:
docker-compose down
Open a bash session in a running container:
docker exec -it <container ID> /bin/bash
-
The docker-compose yaml file will first spin up the Gunicorn container that will run the Django project at port 8000
-
The entrypoint to the django_gunicorn service is entrypoint.sh. This script will do a database migration and it will also collect the static files used by the Django project.
-
The static files will be collected in STATIC_ROOT. This is the /static directory in the container.
-
This directory is mounted to a Docker volume on the local machine.
-
The next container that will be spun is Nginx. The Dockerfile for this container is in the /nginx folder. The Nginx configuration will interact with the Gunicorn service at port 8000 and it will also serve the static files in /static also mounted to the same volume.
-
You will be able to reach the Django project at 0.0.0.0:80. This is the Nginx endpoint that interacts with Gunicorn at 0.0.0.0:8000
-
To validate that the static files are being served correctly, you can visit 0.0.0.0:80/admin. This endpoint will show you the admin page with the correct style used. Gunicorn does not serve static files, so if you visit 0.0.0.0:8000/admin - the admin page will pop up without the default style.
