This is a basic Django dev environment setup with docker and docker-compose for a GalsenDev Meetup. The main purposes was to make a simple presentation of docker and its capabilities.

• First, you need to install docker and docker-compose in your system. Checkout the official docs:

  docker official docs

  docker-compose official docs

• After having cloned this repo, go to it using your terminal and enter the following command:

  docker-compose up

• If you have issues related to permission or write rights, you can run :

  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .

• If everything goes well, congratulations, you can start coding! You can visit http://localhost:8000

If you take a good look at the docker compose file, I hardened the database credentials, which is not a good practice. To remedy this, it is better to use environment variables instead of hardening these values in the configurations. You'll fine the updated docker-compose and .env file on this branch.

• Pull the branch set-env-variables

• Rename .env.example file by .env and set values for variables defined in it

• Run the following command: docker-compose --env-file .env up

• Happy code!
