Docker Compose Django Example Tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to set up docker compose with Django.

Walks you through the process from a brand new Django app to the docker-compose.yml.

Setting this up so development works with both local and docker setup. Found this to be more useful.

Docker Compose Commands

docker-compose build
docker-compose up
docker-compose exec web

More:

docker-compose start
docker-compose stop

Docker Commands

docker build -t boltops/docker-compose-django .
docker run boltops/docker-compose-django
docker push boltops/docker-compose-django

Notes

Replace boltops with your own DockerHub username if you are going through the tutorial.
