billy

A really nice "bang for your buck" Docker image to quickly bootstrap your Django projects

Bootstrap your project as fast as Billy the Kid draws it's gun =)

$ mkdir quickdrawproject
$ cd quickdrawproject
$ python3.6 -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate

Blazing fast dependency setup - magic start's here

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreportela/billy/master/requirements.txt | grep '^[a-z]' | xargs pip install
$ django-admin startproject project .

Quickly draw a simple database setup on your settings.py

# bunch of other imports here
import dj_database_url as db
# bunch of other setup statements here
DATABASES = dict()
DATABASES['default'] = db.config()

Take a break from billy and just code your project ;)

Create your custom Dockerfile with billy's huge boilerplate

FROM andreportela/billy
ADD . ${BASE_FOLDER}

Make a dirty quick docker-compose.yml just to try your shiny new project - polish it later =D

version: "3"

services:
  db:
    image: postgres:10.4-alpine
    ports:
      - 5432:5432
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword

  quickdrawproject:
    build: .
    command: ["sh", "-c", "/app/postgres_ready.py --prevent_ssl --host=db && python manage.py migrate && exec gunicorn --access-logfile - -w 4 project.wsgi:application -b 0.0.0.0:80"]
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:mysecretpassword@db:5432/postgres
    ports:
      - 80:80

Just run it!

$ docker-compose up

Now open your browser on http://localhost and see it working as fast as Billy The Kid!
