Django is a free and open source web application framework, written in Python, which follows the model-view-controller architectural pattern. Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites with an emphasis on reusability and "pluggability" of components.

FROM rvernica/django:onbuild

Put this file in the root of your app, next to the requirements.txt.

This image includes multiple ONBUILD triggers which should cover most applications. The build will COPY . /usr/src/app, RUN pip install, EXPOSE 8000, and set the default command to python manage.py runserver.

You can then build and run the Docker image:

$ docker build --tag my-django-app .
$ docker run --name some-django-app --detach my-django-app

You can test it by visiting http://container-ip:8000 in a browser or, if you need access outside the host, on http://localhost:8000 with the following command:

$ docker run --name some-django-app --publish 8000:8000 --detach my-django-app

Of course, if you don't want to take advantage of magical and convenient ONBUILD triggers, you can always just use docker run directly to avoid having to add a Dockerfile to your project.

$ docker run --name some-django-app --volume "$PWD":/usr/src/app --workdir /usr/src/app --publish 8000:8000 --detach rvernica/django bash -c "pip install -r requirements.txt && python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

If you want to generate the scaffolding for a new Django project, you can do the following:

$ docker run --interactive --tty --rm --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" --volume "$PWD":/usr/src/app --workdir /usr/src/app rvernica/django django-admin.py startproject mysite

This will create a sub-directory named mysite inside your current directory.

This Docker library is a fork of the Docker Official Image packaging for Django. The official image is currently deprecated and will receive no further updates starting 2017.
