Skeleton Django Application

Need to install Python 3.x Need to install pip (?) Create virtual environment: python -m venv .venv

This Docker compose project creates a database container running MariaDB 10.11.2 (http://mariadb.org) - https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb.

The server 'applicationDBMS' contains a database for the django backend ('django_backend') with a default user 'django'.

It also runs an instance of phpMyAdmin 5.2.1 (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/) on localhost:80 - https://hub.docker.com/_/phpmyadmin.

And a Python 3.11.3 running environment (https://www.python.org/) - https://hub.docker.com/_/python. That environment uses Django 4.2.1 (https://www.djangoproject.com/).

• Configuring the Django Framework:

    docker compose run web django-admin startproject config .
  

• Edit config/settings.py.

  • import os.

  • Replace DATABASE with:

    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
            'NAME': os.environ.get('MYSQL_NAME'),
            'USER': os.environ.get('MYSQL_USER'),
            'PASSWORD': os.environ.get('MYSQL_PASSWORD'),
            'HOST': os.environ.get('MYSQL_HOST'),
            'PORT': os.environ.get('MYSQL_PORT'),
        }
    }
    

• To run migrations:

    docker compose run web python manage.py migrate
