Django base image

How to use

1. Build this image locally

docker build -t django_base_image .

2. In your Django project Dockerfile use it as a base image:

FROM django_base_image:latest

Requirements

You will need to have a requirements.txt file at the same level as your Dockerfile with all you dependency.

To run scripts while building the docker image you can add bash command in pre-build. To run scripts before starting Django use pre-run. They will both run as the appuser user.

If you need to add some cronjob add them in a cronjob file.

Run tests

To run Django test from your docker image run:

docker run --rm -it $(IMAGE_TAG) test-django

If you need to set any environment variable use the test.env file.

Deploy

Mount static volume for Nginx to serve on /home/appuser/static.
