This project makes it quick and simple to develop a docker-composed Django application locally and deploy to a remote server for production use. The default application is a web-based request and response platform.
To begin development on this project, add your environment variables by running
./env.sh dev and filling in the variable values by following the instructions.
Then simply run ./deploy.sh dev to spin up a collection of docker files.
./deploy.sh -h displays the help file for the deployment script, ./deploy.sh -c
cleans up the build files (don't use this unless you don't like using the
docker-compose down command...).
You'll need a working Docker and Docker Compose installation to use this project, as well as an installation of Python3.6+.
To deploy to a remote server, ensure that the server HOSTNAME, traefik.HOSTNAME, and
db.HOSTNAME all have A records that point to the server's IP and that you've filled in
the prod environment variables (use ./env.sh prod).
Copy the application folder to the remote server using scp -r $PWD user@hostname:dest_folder
from inside the project directory (or git clone if that's your speed). Log into the
remote server via SSH, navigate to the destination folder, and run ./deploy.sh prod -b.
Give it 30 seconds or so to establish container health, and you're off to the races.
Deployed as-is, the application produces a web-based request and response platform. You can learn more about using that application HERE
