Welcome to the Dockerize Python Django App repository! In this project, we'll guide you through the process of containerizing a Django web App application using Docker. Docker makes it easy to package your application and its dependencies into a single, portable container that can run consistently across different environments.
Like the previous project Dockerizing_Node.js , make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your local machine:
- Docker
- Git (for cloning the repository)
Follow these steps to build and run the Django web app using Docker on your local machine.
If you haven't already clone this repository to your local machine using Git then folow this two instractions:
git clone https://github.com/Harasisco/Dockerize_Python_djangoApp.git
cd Dockerize_Python_djangoAppTo build the Docker image for the Django web app, run the following command in the project directory:
docker build . -t <your username>/python-django-appThis command will create a Docker image named <your username>/python-django-app.
Check the image using:
docker imagesNow that you have built the Docker image, you can run the Django web app in a Docker container. Use the following command:
docker run -p 49160:8000 -d <your username>/python-django-appThis command will start a Docker container in detached mode, exposing port 8000 of the container to port 49160 on your local machine.
Once the Docker container is running, you can access the Django web app in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:49160.
Or you can call your app using curl (install if needed via: sudo apt-get install curl ):
curl -i localhost:49160Feel free to customize the Django web app and the Docker configuration to suit your needs. You can modify the HTML view in the Dockerize_Python_djangoApp/mysite/hello_world/templates/hello_world.html file.
