Using Docker and Pycharm for Remote Django Debugging

In this video I walk through the setup steps I follow to get an interactive coding / debugging experience with a project running in a docker container.

Cheers Tim this really helped me set up remote debugging with my Django instance!

That was very informative though I'm using VirtualBox instead of Docker. I could do all that until you got to the part where you started the remote python interpreter on the django server project. I got an error doing that, which seemed to be because it couldn't do what it needed to do on the remote machine because it wasn't within a virtual environment there. That's true and unfortunately is outside of my control, at least in the short-term, because another programmer set up the whole installation process using an ansible playbook and it's not something that I can understand or modify, at least in the short term.

"I'm not showing you how to get the machines built." Having a lot of trouble with pycharm and docker. Obviously I am ignorant, but where should I go to learn how to "get the machines built." Is this something that pycharm does, or something else? I wish there was a more thorough pycharm docker demo.

Thanks for the video. It only works with the professional version of Pycharm?

How can I get the password for root user to configure it on Pycharm?

Here's what I tried- I added another user. Added him to the sudo group. Configured his credential pair in Pycharm. Test Connection was successful. However, when I run the application, it seems that Pycharm is getting a Permission Denied error while accessing certain files.
