• Django
• Jade template engine
• Stylus css preprocessor
• AngularJS frontend framework
• Bootstrap3 css framework
• Gulp based frontend build system
• Gunicorn app server
• Nginx web server

Installation

Docker dev environent requires latest docker, see https://docs.docker.com/installation/

Mac

1. Install boot2docker and Docker Compose

brew install boot2docker docker-compose

2. Initialize and start up boot2docker

boot2docker init

boot2docker start

3. Configure your Docker host to point to your boot2docker image.

$(boot2docker shellinit)

You’ll need to run this for every terminal session that invokes the docker or docker-compose command – better export this line into your .zshrc or .bashrc.

Run development server

# build images
# init database
# start django dev server & frontend builder
./bin/develop.sh

App should be up on http://localhost:8000, running django development server. You're good to go!

Run production server

# stop containers,
# create database backup
# build docker images,
# build frontend,
# collect django static files,
# run migrations,
# start development stack
./bin/deploy.sh

#stop production server
./bin/stop_production.sh

#start production server
./bin/start_production.sh

App should be up on http://localhost

TODO:
add log rotation

Run django management commands

# create migrations
./bin/django_admin.sh makemigrations sampleapp 

#apply migrations
./bin/django_admin.sh migrate 

#access django shell
./bin/django_admin.sh shell 

#create new admin user
./bin/django_admin.sh createsuperuser 
# etc

for production use /bin/django_admin_prod.sh

Build frontend

In case you want to build forntend separately, to host it on cdn or whatevs:

./bin/build_frontend.sh

This will build frontend & collect static files to frontend/dist

Database

# access postgress shell
./bin/psql.sh

# create a backup to backups/
./bin/db_backup.sh

# restore from backup
./bin/db_restore.sh [filename that exists in backups/]
