Docker is used for local development process. It runs web application and database containers.
Makefiles are used to build and run system for different environments.
make run in the project root will run containers for dev environment.
cd ./docker/stage/ && make run will run staging environment containers.
Pip requirements are primarily written in the Dockerfile, which is used to build container for django.
For each environment there is an env file, which is not stored in the git repo. It keeps secrets and should be copied to the server to define contained environment variables.
Fabric is used to deploy code to the staging/production servers.
Fabfile contains tasks to stop, rebuild and restart docker containers.
Livereload is used to update page in browser when watched files are changed.
Prerequisites:
- JS code embedded in every page, when site is running locally
- Livereload server should be running on dev machine to watch files changes(installed via pip, started together with django dev server)
