Usage in Docker

[BenA-SA]

Hi all,

Thanks for producing a great package!

I'm wanting to use this package with Clicky inside docker (from cookiecutter-django), but I'm not sure how to do the initial python setup within my docker container.

Has anyone used this package inside a docker container, and if so, how did you do the initial install?

Many thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Like any Django app you integrate it in your Django project. If you manage to install your Django project in a container image (e.g. Docker) you're done. Just try it and you'll see it's not magic!

If you look at an existing Dockerfile that hosts a Django project you'll likely see lines like these:

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

This is a very common way to install all your project's dependencies, which would also cover django-analytical if you use it.

In a more advanced approach you'd package your Django project up as a Python package first and install it directly in the Dockerfile. But that's a topic for another day assuming you're only starting with Docker now.

This question is not specific to a feature of this project, hence closing the issue.

You may look for tutorials on how to deploy a Django project using Docker.
