GeoDjango with Docker

[Tadeo C]

Hi, I'm starting a project with GeoDjango and I want to use Docker containers to build the stack (GeoDjango, Nginx, Postgis) preferably Alpine base images.

Does anyone has successful done this before? Where can I find a useful docker-compose.yml or a tested and working updated image?

Thanks a lot,

Tadeo

Hi Tadeo

GeoDjango is very similar to Django and you can modify existing Django dockerfiles to build your own images
have a look at this links
realpython django docker example
postgis django  dockerfile (outdated)
geodjango postgis dockerfile (outdated)
you can modify and build  them

PS:
make sure you really need docker for achieve your goal
managing docker images and creating them could be a headache
and in many cases using docker is a overkill
ex : for provisioning servers you can use puppet instead
 
Best Regards

Hi,

Basically what you need is to pick base distro you want to use. Installing PostGIS package usually brings in all the spatial libs Django expects so you're covered by that part. The rest is just putting Django served from your container.

So there is not much stuff involved.

Hi Tadeo, I've recently gone through this exercise myself, and documented my progress in three posts:

https://geoanalytic.github.io/a-production-ready-web-mapping-toolkit-part-1/

https://geoanalytic.github.io/a-production-ready-web-mapping-toolkit-part-2/

https://geoanalytic.github.io/a-production-ready-web-mapping-toolkit-part-3/

It's based on Ubuntu but you should be able to move it to Alpine without too much effort.

Cookie cutter is pretty awesome. Don't know whether it works with GeoDjango though.
