Django Docker Quickstart

---

Provides a quick and easy way to get started with a Django project using Docker. It comes with pre-configured services, including PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery (worker and beat), Nginx, and Traefik, that can be used to run a Django web application. It also comes with a few shortcuts to make development easier.

Features

• Django web application framework
• PostgreSQL database
• Redis
• Celery worker and beat services: Celery is a task queue that is used to run background tasks asynchronously.
• Nginx web server: Used to serve static files and media files, and to proxy requests to the Django application.
• Traefik reverse proxy: Used to route requests to the appropriate service. It also provides SSL termination.

Included Packages and Tools

• Pytest: Testing framework
• Pytest Sugar: Plugin for pytest that changes the default look
• Pytest Django: Plugin for pytest that provides useful tools for testing Django applications
• Coverage: Test coverage
• Ruff: Linter
• Black: Code formatter

Requirements

• Docker & Docker Compose Install and Use Docker
• Python 3.10 or higher
• Make(optional for shortcuts)

Getting Started

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/godd0t/django-docker-quickstart.git
   

2. Change directory into the project:

   cd django-docker-quickstart
   

3. Copy the env.example file to .env and update the values as needed:

   cp env.example .env
   

Initial Setup

Development Prerequisites

To set up the project for development, follow these steps:

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the development requirements:

   pip install -r requirements/requirements-dev.txt
   

4. Build the image and run the container:

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -d
   

   Or you can use the shortcut:

   make build-dev
   

Now you can access the application at http://localhost:8000. With the development environment, you can make changes to the code and the changes will be reflected immediately.

Production

To set up the project for production, follow these steps:

1. Build the image and run the container:

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d
   

   Or you can use the shortcut:

   make build-prod
   

Shortcuts

To make development easier, there are a few shortcuts available:

Create migrations:

make make-migrations

Run migrations:

make migrate

Run the linter:

make lint

Run the formatter:

make format

Run the tests:

Create a super user:

make super-user

Build and run dev environment:

make build-dev

Build and run prod environment:

make build-prod
