A Microservice to manage the user data in MySQL with Django REST framework

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/parthipanj/UserDjangoService.git
$ cd UserDjangoService

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate

Then install the dependencies:

(env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the (env) in front of the prompt. This indicates that this terminal session operates in a virtual environment set up by virtualenv.

Once pip has finished downloading the dependencies:

(env)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000.

To run the tests, cd into the directory where manage.py is:

(env)$ python manage.py test users

• User Application to manage the user details such as username, password, email, mobile number, and avatar.
• Environment Variable Access
• Logging
• Custom Response Structure
• Custom Exception Handler
• Dockerfile and Docker stack file
• Test Cases (WIP)

Build a docker image using the Dockerfile

$ docker build -t ${image_name}:${tag} .
$ docker image ls

Make sure you MySQL running in your system. If not deploy the MySQL service using this stack file. Need to download and deploy it separately.

Note: Make sure you have the mysql image in local. And change the MySQL image name, root password in the stack file as per your configuration

$ docker stack deploy -c mysql.yml ${appname}
$ docker stack ls     # To check the stack is deployed 
$ docker service ls   # To check the MySQL service is created
$ docker container ls # To check the MySQL container is up and running

Deploy the User Microservice using the docker stack file.

Note: Change the Django configurations and MySQL connections configuration in the /config/env.yml file.

$ docker stack deploy -c docker-stack.yml ${appname}
$ docker stack ls     # To check the stack is deployed 
$ docker service ls   # To check the service is created
$ docker container ls # To check the container is up and running
