Django Docker Quickstart

This quickstart provides an easy way to initiate a Django project using Docker. It comes with pre-configured services including PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery (worker and beat), Nginx, and Traefik, ready to run a Django web application. Additionally, it provides a few handy shortcuts for easier development.

Features 🚀

• Django web application framework
• PostgreSQL database
• Redis in-memory data structure store
• Celery worker and beat services for running background tasks asynchronously
• Nginx web server for serving static and media files, and proxying requests to the Django application
• Traefik reverse proxy for routing requests to the appropriate service and providing SSL termination

Included Packages and Tools 🛠️

• Pytest: Testing framework
• Pytest Sugar: A pytest plugin for a better look
• Pytest Django: A pytest plugin providing useful tools for testing Django applications
• Coverage: Test coverage tool
• Ruff: Linter
• Black: Code formatter

Requirements 📋

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

Getting Started 🏁

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:
   
   For Linux/macOS:

   cp env.example .env
   

   For Windows (Command Prompt):

   Copy-Item -Path env.example -Destination .env

Initial Setup ⚙️

Development Prerequisites

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. (Optional) Install the development requirements specific to your IDE for enhanced functionality and support.

   pip install -r src/requirements-dev.txt
   

4. Build the image and run the container:
   
   

   • If buildkit is not enabled, enable it and build the image:

     DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1 docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build -d
     

   • If buildkit is enabled, build the image:

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

   • Or, use the shortcut:

     make build-dev
     

You can now access the application at http://localhost:8000. The development environment allows for immediate reflection of code changes.

Production Setup

1. Build the image and run the container:
   
   

   • If buildkit is not enabled, enable it and build the image:

   DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1 docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d
   

   • If buildkit is enabled, build the image:

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

   • Or, use the shortcut:

   make build-prod
