README.md

Project will use docker and docker-compose, so please make sure that docker was installed and ran

1. Clone project

git clone https://github.com/pogossian/docker_django_mysql.git project_name

2. Go to cloned directory and remove old .git directory

cd project_name
rm -rf .git/

3. Initialize a new version control.

git init

4. Review and update requirements.txt

5. Copy existing django project to current directory or create a new project.

   it's can take a long time, because before run compose would build an image

docker-compose run --no-deps --rm www django-admin startproject project_name .

6. Change mysql root password in docker-compose.yml

     - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=newpass

7. Change databases to mysql in project_name/settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'db',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'newpass',
        'HOST': 'db',   # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
        'PORT': '3306',
    }
}

8. Run compose

    docker-compose up -d

9. Django will run as soon as mysql be ready (if you want you can watch to running proccess docker-compose logs)

• http://localhost:8000

10. Create superuser

docker exec -it project_name_www_1 python3 manage.py createsuperuser

11. Try to login in admin page

• http://localhost:8000/admin/

P.S

use docker exec -it project_name_www_1 python3 manage.py command for working with manage.py

e.g.

docker exec -it project_name_www_1 python3 manage.py migrate - for migrate

docker exec -it project_name_www_1 python3 manage.py makemigrations - for makemigrations
