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.

• 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

• 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

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

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

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.

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

This project includes several shortcuts to streamline the development process:

• Create migrations:

  make make-migrations

• Run migrations:

  make migrate

• Run the linter:

  make lint

• Run the formatter:

  make format

• Run the tests:

  make test

• Create a super user:

  make super-user

• Build and run dev environment:

  make build-dev

• Build and run prod environment:

  make build-prod
