Running Locally With Docker¶
This project relies heavily on Docker and Docker Compose.
Prerequisites¶
Build the App¶
This command should always be run when something changes either in Dockerfile or in app requirements:
docker-compose -f local.yml build
Run the App¶
At first build the frontend static files:
docker-compose -f web.yml up --build
Command will build the frontend container and use it to generate static files to /beverage_tasting/static.
Django later collects and serves static files from this directory.
Next step is to actually run Django and PostgreSQL:
docker-compose -f local.yml up
It might be handy to always start services with build options. It is fast when cached and only takes longer when changes occurred. Following command is therefore recommended:
docker-compose -f local.yml up --build
Usually only local.yml file will be used with Docker Compose. You can set environment variable pointing to this file:
export COMPOSE_FILE=local.yml
Then you can run only:
docker-compose up --build
Executing Management Commands¶
Run one-off container to perform common Django commands:
docker-compose run --rm django python manage.py createsuperuser
Command will create container with only the Django application and destroy itself afterwards.
