Prerequisites:
- docker-compose
- docker (duh!)
To create and run containers, use the command
docker-compose up --build
If the data directory already exists --because of a previous build-- it needs to be deleted, since the PostgreSQL database is recreated along with the container. To delete the data directory a simple
sudo rm -rf data
will suffice. When done, the main page should be accessible at 172.15.0.3:8000.
The Django source code can be edited in the server/src folder and any changes should be automatically synchronized with the container. The start-shell-db.sh and start-shell-django.sh scripts open up a shell instance directly inside the respective container (if they are running that is).
The debug environment is defined when the DEBUG environment variable is set to 1. Remove or comment the respective line on server/start.sh to change the deploy environment to gunicorn. Remember to change PostgreSQL password in docker-compose.yaml before you deploy it into production.
