Based on example at https://blog.bitsacm.in/django-on-docker/ (django+gunicorn+nginx+postgresql on docker)

To install local dev server (sqlite3, and DEBUG):

• virtualenv -p python3 venv
• . venv/bin/activate
• pip install -r djangoproject/requirements.txt

To run local dev server

• First time in a shell, run . venv/bin/activate, and . dev.env
• cd djangoproject
• Perform first time operations (see below)
• ./manage.py runserver and browse to http://localhost:8000

To deploy dockers locally

• You should copy project.env.example to project.env and edit it.
• docker-compose up would then run the server on http://localhost:8888
• docker exec -it django /bin/bash will let you perform first time operations (see below)

First time operations

Whether on local dev server or on a docker, you should do 2 things:

• ./manage.py createsuperuser (so that you can manage the site via web)
• ./manage.py loaddata billboard/fixtures/initial-data.json (Optional. Populates the db with a few items)
