Hi Readers!
Greetings!
Hope you are reading the blog and gaining some interesting knowledge.
Today I am going to tell you to create a docker container of django and how to run it.
Though this blog is mainly targeting students, newcomers , today’s target audience is intermediate.
So lets start.
Prerequisite – you should have installed rpm based linux(red hat, fedora) and on that os, you should have docker package installed.
Step one:
Write a dockerfile for setting up django.
Create a file ‘Dockerfile’ in any folder and write following commands in to it.
FROM centos:centos7
MAINTAINER <your email id>
RUN yum -y install epel-release
RUN yum -y install python-pip python-django git sqlite; yum clean all
EXPOSE 8000
CMD [ “/bin/bash” ]
Save the file.
Step two:
Build the docker image using this Dockerfile
command:
docker build -t django:centos7anand .
(Note: we mentioned . ‘dot’ here as we are running the command from the location where Dockerfile is saved.)
run the ‘docker images’ command and you should see the newly created image
$docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
centos_django latest 2892fe55292c 45 hours ago 409MB
Step three:
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 django:centos7anand
then you should see the container running , you can check using docker ps -a command.
Step four:
Start the container using following command:
docker start <container id of the container which we have created in above step>
Step Five: Check/test whether django is successfully installed in the container
command:
docker run django:centos7anand django-admin –version
Your output should be like :
]# docker run django:centos7anand django-admin –version
1.11.27
Congratulations you have successfully containerised the django package. 🙂
Stay tuned for next interesting and helpful knowledge for this blog.
