Creating a docker network

Since I didn't use docker compose I had to create a network via docker to make it easier for the django docker to communicate to the postgres container.

Thus I had to create a network with the command:

sudo docker network create <network name>

Once you run this command you have this network to work with your docker containers.

Loading postgres image

To start the setup one should have a postgres image running. I used the one called "postgres" for this python test.

One can run it with the command:

sudo docker run --name my-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -d --network=my-net postgres

Once the postgres is loaded and connected to the network you can proceed to loading the django app in docker

Building the django app image

Now one should build the app in docker with the command:

sudo docker build -t <django image name>

Loading the django app container

One should run the command:

sudo docker run --name <container name> -e DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=lskjdfghlahglkdfjghlKJJKJHLKRFHKLSLodghls898s7dfsdf -d -p 8000:8000 --network=my-net <django image name>

Once this command finishes and returns to the prompt you can start working with the app via browser

running the tests

You can run the tests from the docker container by running the next commands (I'm assuming the docker container of the django app is running):

sudo docker exec -it <running docker of django app id> bash

then run inside the docker the command:

./manage.py test

All tests should pass
