My Cookie Cutter

Starting place for a stack which includes Docker, NGINX, Django/FastAPI, and more...

Usage

For main branch (otherwise tack on: --checkout <branch_name>):

cookiecutter https://github.com/rileypeterson/mycc.git
# Enter in Parameters
cd <project_slug>
source aliases.sh
deploy

Future Thoughts

• Separate branches for different setups (e.g. Just db/django, just nginx, just traefik, just elasticache, etc.)
  • cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git --checkout develop
• Maybe use Traefik: https://www.reddit.com/r/Traefik/comments/hpsrx9/is_it_possible_to_configure_whitelist_for/
• Look through cookiecutter django

Requirements

• Docker

Environment Files

• Environment files are placed here:

  {{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/config/.dev.env
  {{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/config/.prod.env
  

• They're ignored
• If they already exist, they won't be overwritten when generating the cookiecutter
  • This is because Postgres auth won't work if the credentials are overwritten
• See aliases.sh (Doesn't remove these files)

Handling Unrendered Files

• The following files aren't rendered and django templates don't play nicely with cookiecutter:

    "_copy_without_render": [
      "{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/pages/templates/pages/*.html"
    ]
  

• Therefore, just use the following [[[[cookiecutter.project_name]]]] (no spaces) within those files
• It'll be rendered by the post_gen_project.py hook
• For now only cookiecutter.project_name will be recognized, but it would be straight forward to add more.

Docker removal (caution, this is just for testing)

prod-down
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)
docker system prune -a --volumes
rm -rf <project_slug>
rm -rf .cookiecutter*

Note

You can have an NGINX config which blocks IPs like this:

    location / {
        proxy_pass         http://django;
        include ddns/allowed_ips.conf;
        deny all;
    }

and the certbot ssl exchange will still work. Thus, you don't need to leave the root domain exposed to 80/443.
