FashionPlaza

This project is of a website for selling different brands of cloth from all across the world. It uses Angular8, Ngrx store management for frontend and Django, Django rest framework as backend technology. I am using SQLite and PostgreSQL as database. This application uses docker images technology to launch and Travis for CI\CD pipeline.

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py dumpdata --natural-foreign --exclude=auth.permission --exclude=contenttypes  --indent=4 > data.json
python manage.py  makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

FrontEnd server

Docker Commands

docker build --no-cache -t e-commerceclothwebsite_web . -> build a image using the name given for docker file in current directory

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 --name FashionPlaza -it e-commerceclothwebsite_web python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 -> to run docker instance from image created by previous command

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 --name FashionPlaza -it e-commerceclothwebsite_web gunicorn --bind :8000 --workers 3 FashionPlaza.wsgi -> to run docker instance in gunicorn

docker compose up -> other way to build container and run but it depends on the source of the project in local and it can run multiple containers at a time

docker run --rm --name FashionPlaza -it e-commerceclothwebsite_web /bin/bash -> get interactive bash terminal for the image

Docker Hub Commands

docker login
docker push yourusername/fashionplaza

Notes

Docker Compose relies on the files present in the local file to run container even though it builds an image using docker file if you are using build command

Docker file upon building creates a new copy of files in its storage and all read and write will happen to the docker storage but it will not update the local files

Containers run using docker compose depends on local file to start initially but will not read or write to it

Python: Can dumpdata cannot loaddata back. UnicodeDecodeError

• Open the file in regular notepad
• Select save as
• Select encoding "UTF-8" (Not "UTF-8 (With BOM)")
• Save the file.
