tklx/django - Python web framework

Django is a free and open-source web framework, written in Python, which follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern. Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. Django emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself.

Features

• Based on the super slim tklx/base (Debian GNU/Linux).
• Django installed from Debian.
• Uses tini for zombie reaping and signal forwarding.
• Includes USER django to restrict the privileges.
• Includes EXPOSE 8000, so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers.

Usage

This image uses uwsgi to run Django apps.

Running a simple Django site (uWSGI protocol)

$ docker run --name some-django -v /path/to/django/project:/home/django/appname -d tklx/django --chdir /home/django/appname --wsgi-file appname/wsgi.py --uwsgi-socket :8000

Running a simple Django site (HTTP protocol)

$ docker run --name some-django -v /path/to/django/project:/home/django/appname -d tklx/django --chdir /home/django/appname --wsgi-file appname/wsgi.py --http-socket :8000

Running a site with custom uwsgi config file

$ cat /path/to/uwsgi/conf.ini
[uwsgi]
socket = :8000
chdir = /home/django/app
wsgi-file = appname/wsgi.py
$ docker run --name some-django -v /path/to/django/project:/home/django/appname -v /path/to/uwsgi/conf.ini:/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/default.ini -d tklx/django

A complete reverse proxy setup

$ docker run --name some-django -v /path/to/django/project:/home/django/appname -d tklx/django --chdir /home/django/appname --wsgi-file appname/wsgi.py
$ docker run -p 80:80 --name some-nginx --link some-django:django -v /path/to/nginx/config:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default -d tklx/nginx
$ cat /path/to/nginx/config
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.com;

    location /media {
        # your Django project's media files - amend as required
        alias /path/to/your/mysite/media;
    }

    location /static {
        # your Django project's static files - amend as required
        alias /path/to/your/mysite/static;
    }

    # send all non-media requests to uwsgi
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass django:8000;
        include uwsgi_params;
    }
}

Using the built-in Django webserver (not recommended)

$ docker run -v /path/to/django/project:/home/django/appname -d tklx/django python appname/manage.py migrate && python appname/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Automated builds

The Docker image is built, tested and pushed by CircleCI from source hosted on GitHub.

• Tag: x.y.z refers to a release (recommended).
• Tag: latest refers to the master branch.

Status

Currently on major version zero (0.y.z). Per Semantic Versioning, major version zero is for initial development, and should not be considered stable. Anything may change at any time.
