Django Lab

I’ve been spending some time doing researches on how best work with django and improve my code performance. Then I did a bit of testing myself and decided to put it all together in a project for future’s sake and as a sample that showcases some django features and good practices. Any suggestions, comments and/or contributions are more than welcome.

Technology Stack

• Python 2.7
• Django 1.9+
• PostgreSQL 9.4+

Setup

• Install Docker

  https://docs.docker.com/installation/

• Install Docker Compose

  http://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

  To run any command inside the Django Docker container, simply prepend docker-compose run web.

• Run the Django database migrations

  :~$ docker-compose run web python manage.py migrate

• Start the Docker containers

  :~$ docker-compose up -d

  This will start the containers in the background.
