This project is to document production-level Docker setup. Please note that Django application is rudimentary and not fit for production.

This project present docker setup of four component of a typical Django application i.e. web server, celery worker, celery beat and celery monitoring using flower.

Detailed documentation of Docker setup can be found in above blog. It discusses in detail Dockerfile, entrypoint.sh and start.sh

To be run from root of the project.

Note: Before running commands, copy .sample-env into .env in the same level dockerapp/docker/.

1. Build docker image with tag 'development': docker build -t dockerapp:development -f docker/Dockerfile .

2. Start all containers including essential services(PostgreSQL and Redis): docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up

3. Stop all containers: docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down

The Django application has a simple view dockerapp/core/views.py linked to url /task-trigger/, which picks a random integer between 1 and 100 and send to celery task(defined in dockerapp/core/tasks.py) which count next five integer at interval of one second.

This is a work in progress, hence further enhancements in all aspects of Docker in this project is expected. Any advice regarding improvement of Docker aspect is welcome and encouraged.
