Django, uWSGI, Nginx and Python3 in a container, using Supervisord.

This Dockerfile takes an existing Django app and deploys it for production using uWSGI and Nginx. I used most of the source code from https://github.com/dockerfiles/django-uwsgi-nginx, but I modified it to use Alpine instead of Ubuntu, the former being much lighter and in my opinion much cleaner.

I added a docker-compose file to ease deployment.

How to deploy your application

Copy the root of your Django project into the app folder, make sure to include a requirements.txt file. You need to modify the following files:

• [uwsgi.ini] Line module=your_app.wsgi:application. your_app needs to be the name of your django project, i.e. the folder name where wsgi.py lives.
• [nginx-app.conf] Lines referring to static and media content. Use their full paths.

Then:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

If that succeds, then curl -vvv localhost:8113 should return something.
