kartoza/django-base repository overview

⁠Kartoza Django Base Image

A base image for django projects.

This is a base image for django projects. It is based on the python base image (which in turn is based on debian).

This image makes some other assumptions in particular:

• nodejs / npm / yuglify are installed to compress django resources
• uwsgi runs on port 8080
• uwsgi is set up to serve the django project out of /home/web/django_project
• the WORKDIR will be set to /home/web/django_project
• uwsgi will serve up static resources from /home/web/django_project/static
• uwsgi will serve up media resources from /home/web/django_project/media
• Your project is mounted into /home/web/django_project from a docker volume

NOTE: Django itself is not installed in this image - you must add it in your REQUIREMENTS.txt file.

⁠Getting the image

There are several ways to get the image onto your system:

⁠Use the docker repository:

This will consume the most bandwidth for the initial build but will be easy to update thereafter.

docker pull kartoza/django-base

⁠Build with no local checkout

to build the image without checking out the build repo do:

docker build -t kartoza/django-base git://github.com/timlinux/docker-django-base

⁠Build locally or with locally checked out code

git clone git://github.com/timlinux/docker-django-base
docker build -t kartoza/django-base .

⁠Usage

You should use the FROM directive in your Dockerfile to inherit from this file and then install your requirements like this:

FROM kartoza/django-base
ADD REQUIREMENTS.txt /REQUIREMENTS.txt
RUN pip install -r /REQUIREMENTS.txt
RUN pip install uwsgi
