A boilerplate project showing how to dockerize a Django application with Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx using Docker Compose. It accompanies a testdriven.io tutorial and provides separate development and production configurations.

Use cases

• dockerize a django app with postgres
• set up django with gunicorn and nginx in docker
• django docker compose starter template
• learn containerizing django for production
• dev and prod docker setup for django

When to choose

• starting a new Django project you want to run in Docker
• learning how Django, Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx fit together in containers
• needing a simple dev/prod Docker Compose setup for Django

When to avoid

• you need a full production platform with CI/CD, scaling, and monitoring built in
• your stack is not Django or you use a different database
• you want an actively developed framework rather than a reference template
