Docker Compose | Build and start a Django project with Docker Compose & work in a Docker Container

In this Docker compose tutorial we start an application with Docker Compose and run it in a container. I will then show you how to configure a volume to build a mirrored folder from your computer and the container. This way you can develop on your computer but host the application in a container. This is a docker compose tutorial for beginners. Take your first steps with Docker containers.

Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorial! You explain it in a great way. There is one point I did't get.
Why should I run the "docker-compose run --rm app django-admin startproject core." command? Why not without docker-compose like in Part 1? The content of the folder will by copied to the container anyway, isn' it?

[naheliegend]

Thank you. Can you do videos about deploy to production?

[GoziePO]

i had the issue where
$docker-compose run --rm app django-admin startproject core .
didn't work to create a core folder!
I fixed it by changing the working directory in the docker file from /app to /django. You have to delete the container image in docker before trying the command again! hope this helps.

Hi and thanks a lot for yet another amazing tutorial! One question if I might, why are we specifying the command to create a new Django "core" App on the CLI with the docker-compose run command and we are not placing it in the command: line inside the docker-compose.yml file? Couldn't we chain this command and the run server command there and avoid passing it manually? Thanks!
