This extensive project has helped me better understand the process of setting up a docker and docker-compose to containerize a django application that uses gunicorn and database language Postgres. Upon completion of this project, I created a multicontainer application using docker-compose docker-compose.prod.yml -- that uses 3 services: web for django application, db for postgreSQL, and nginx for Nginx; which will be using named volumes: postgres_data to store postgreSQL data, static_volume to store static files used by django application, and media_volume that will hold the images uploaded by the user. The project uses Gunicorn, a WSGI HTTP server, with Nginx, an HTTP proxy server, to serve the web application.
