Django Docker start up project

For making new projects with docker and django without using virtual environment Now included vite, postcss, bun, tailwindcss

Installation

• First - Clone this repo to your local machine git clone https://github.com/issamlk1/django-docker
• Create .env file and fill it, it's content is inside the file .env.example for development enviroment

Start new project

First build the docker file

$ docker compose build

Then create the new project

Setup

• After building the project you need to edit sittings.py to your new database information

change /settings.py From

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
    }
}

If you kept the postgresql it should look like this (its better to use the .env)

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'myproject',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD' : 'postgres',
        'HOST': 'postgresql',
        'PORT': 5432,
    }
}

$ docker compose up -d

Shut down

$ docker compose down

Access the containers

• To access the docker containers just type this command in your terminal

Important
