chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx repository overview

⁠Docker-Django-Python3-Nginx

Dockerfile and configuration files for Django with Python 3, uWSGI, and Nginx.

⁠About this Image/Dockerfile

This Image/Dockerfile aims to create a container for Django with Python 3 and using uWSGI, Nginx to hosting.

The most part is referenced from dockerfiles/django-uwsgi-nginx⁠.

I change the version of Python and modify the setting of Nginx to make it easier when you use static file of Django.

⁠How to use?

You can build this Dockerfile yourself:

sudo docker build -t "chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx" .

Or, just pull my image:

sudo docker pull chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx

Then, run this image:

sudo docker run -itd -p 80:80 chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx

Now, you can see the initial project of Django at http://127.0.0.1⁠

You can also change it to a different port.

For example, use 8080:

sudo docker run -itd -p 8080:80 chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx

⁠Use your Django project?

If you want to use your Django project which you already developed, use following command:

sudo docker run -itd -p 80:80 -v $PROJECET_DIR:/home/django/website chenjr0719/django-python3-nginx

In order to make it work properly, make sure you project name is website.

If not, you need modify the setting of uwsgi.ini in your container:

sudo docker exec $CONTAINER_ID sed -i "s|module=website.wsgi:application|module=$PROJECT_NAME.wsgi:application|g" /home/django/uwsgi.ini
sudo docker restart $CONTAINER_ID

⁠About Django static files

If you want to use Django static files, you have to:

1. Enter to your container:

sudo docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID bash

1. Modify the setting of Django.

SETTING_PATH=`find /home/django/website -name settings.py`
vim $SETTING_PATH

In the Static files section, if your static files are in templates/static, add following setting:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates/static"),
]

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")

1. Run the following command to collect all static files of your project into a folder.

In default it will use /static/, you can change it by modifying STATIC_ROOT in settings.py

echo yes | python3 /home/django/website/manage.py collectstatic

1. If you want to use different name of static folder, you need to modify the setting of nginx-site.conf in your container.

You can use this command:

sed -i "s|/home/django/website/static|/home/django/website/$STATIC_FOLDER_NAME|g" /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

1. Exit your container and restart it:

exit
sudo docker restart $CONTAINER_ID
