1. Install Docker on your local machine.
2. Create a new directory for your Django project.
3. In the new directory, create a file called Dockerfile and paste the following code:
FROM python:3.8
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /app
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
4. Save the file and run the following command to build the Docker image:
docker build -t django-dev .
5. Pull the MariaDB image from Docker Hub:
docker pull mariadb:latest
6. Create a new Dockerfile in the root of your Django project.In the Dockerfile, add the following lines:
FROM mariadb:latest ENV MYSQL_DATABASE='mydatabase' ENV MYSQL_USER='root' ENV MYSQL_PASSWORD='some_password' ENV MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='some_password' CMD ["mysqld"]
7. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t mariadb .
8. Create a new docker-compose.yml file in the root of your Django project. In the docker-compose.yml file, add the following lines:
version: '3'
services:
django:
image: django-dev
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
- mariadb
mariadb:
image: mariadb
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
- MYSQL_DATABASE='mydatabase'
- MYSQL_USER='root'
- MYSQL_PASSWORD='some_password'
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='some_password'
9. Run the following command to start the Docker containers:
docker-compose up -d
10. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Django development server running.
Note : You can now connect the Django development server image to the MariaDB image by adding the following lines to your settings.py file:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': os.environ['MYSQL_DATABASE'],
'USER': os.environ['MYSQL_USER'],
'PASSWORD': os.environ['MYSQL_PASSWORD'],
'HOST': 'mariadb',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
Save and restart the project and your development server will be up and running connected to mariaDB.
