The project template hierarchy

- docker/*                   # all docker integration files, except `.dockerignore`
- requirements/
              / - common.txt # common dependencies for development and production environments
              / - dev.txt    # only for development environment
              / - prod.txt   # only for production environment
- src/
     / - apps/*              # all user-defined apps collect here (via `./manage.py startapp`)
     / - project/*           # all project-wide configuration (settings, urls, etc.) collect here
     / - static/*            # all static sources collect here (js, css, etc.)
     / - templates/*         # all common/non-standard templates collect here
- static/*                   # `./manage.py collectstatic` root directory
- manage.py                  # project controls

Conventions

1. The different settings for the development/production environment are placed in local.example.py with --PLACEHOLDER--. Specific values are specified in local.py. Example: DEBUG = '--DEBUG -' --> DEBUG = True.
2. All user-defined apps must be placed in apps directory. Example: mkdir -p src/apps/core && ./manage.py startapp core src/apps/core.
3. Installed apps must be separated by INSTALLED_APPS, THIRD_PARTY_APPS, PROJECT_APPS. INSTALLED_APPS contains only django core apps.

Docker support

Supported by docker and docker-compose as ready-to-update services. Need to specify -f on each docker-compose or docker command.

docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down

Useful scripts

1. Setup development environment from scratch:

scripts/dev_setup.sh
