With the assumption that Docker is installed and running, build the project for running locally using:

docker-compose -f local.yml build

Then run the stack with:

docker-compose -f local.yml up

This will start the project with the usual Django, DRF endpoints available

http://localhost:8000/
http://localhost:8000/api
http://localhost:8000/admin

Commands can be run against the project using the django container, for example to create a superuser:

docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py createsuperuser

• To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.

docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django pytest
