- 1. From the development folder create an .env file:
cp .env_template .env
Populate the .env file with your sensitive variables. This file is included in the .gitignore and your variables will not be accessible to anyone else. - 2. Build and start the project:
docker-compose up -d —build - 3. It may take up to 10 minutes to build and start the project. If you want to check the status of the running containers, run:
docker ps
Celery beat container is going to keep restarting until you set up the database as it is shown in the next bulletpoint. - 4. Here are the instructions for the initial project setup as well as the database setup.
Log in into uwsgi container:
docker-compose exec uwsgi bash

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py shell

from users.models import Profile; from django.contrib.auth.models import User
Profile.objects.create(user=User.objects.create_superuser(username="root", password="root"), subdomain="root")
