Clone the Dockerfile repository

The Dockerfile for Django development is available on github, so please clone it!

GitHub - E-handson/docker-django

Contribute to E-handson/docker-django development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

First, start a terminal.
Execute the following command.

$ git clone https://github.com/E-handson/docker-django.git

After the clone is complete, the “docker-django” directory will be created.
Execute the following command.

$ cd docker-django

You will find docker-compose.yml under the docker-django directory.
The docker-compose command can be executed directly under the directory where docker-compose.yml exists.

Running Docker

First, execute the following command to build the Docker service.

$ docker-compose build

Next, docker-compose up

$ docker-compose up

Let’s run the “docker-compose ps” command to see if Docker is running.

$ docker-compose ps
       Name                   Command                   State            Ports
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
docker-django_app_1     uwsgi --socket :8001 --mod ...    Up         8001/tcp
docker-django_db_1      docker-entrypoint.sh --def ...    Up         3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
docker-django_web_1     /docker-entrypoint.sh ngin ...    Up         80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp

docker-django_app_1　→　Python Container
docker-django_db_1　→　MySQL Container
docker-django_web_1　→　Nginx Container

If the “State” column is “Up”, the container is up and running.

Installing Django

Install Django in the “app” container

Execute the following command.

$ docker-compose exec app django-admin.py startproject app .

When you are done, the “src” directory will have been created.

$ ll
drwxrwxr-x 8 user user 4096 Dec 24 01:43 .git/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 486 Dec 24 01:43 README.md
drwxrwxr-x 5 user user 4096 Dec 24 01:43 docker/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 719 Dec 24 01:43 docker-compose.yml
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 24 01:46 src/

The Django source files have been created under the “src” directory. Restart Docker.

$ docker-compose restart

Accessing localhost:8000 will bring up the Django welcome page.

MySQL configuration

Edit the file “./src/app/settings.py”.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    }
}

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'django_local',
        'USER': 'django_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'secret',
        'HOST': 'db',
        'POST': 3306
    }
}
