Notes on setting up a boilerplate vagrant, docker, django, postgres project using cookiecutter-django

Add docker ready vagrant box (optional)

vagrant box add williamyeh/ubuntu-trusty64-docker (Thanks William Yeh)

Create your project dir on the host machine

mkdir whatever; cd whatever

Init docker ready vagrant box

vagrant init williamyeh/ubuntu-trusty64-docker

Bring it up

vagrant up

SSH to VM

vagrant ssh

Navigate to the synced folder on the VM (i.e. /vagrant)

cd /vagrant

Update

sudo apt-get update

Install pip

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Install Cookie Cutter

sudo pip3 install "cookiecutter>=1.4.0"

Make a dev dir in the synced folder

mkdir dev; cd dev

Run cookiecutter with django template

cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django

Build the stack

docker-compose -f dev.yml build

Create env var so you don't have to run docker-compose -f dev.yml up (Consider adding to .bashrc)

export COMPOSE_FILE=dev.yml

Fire up the containers

docker-compose up -d

Check that they're running

docker ps

Install Postgres Client

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ trusty-pgdg main"
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-9.6

Get shell on postgres docker container and use psql

docker exec -it <your postgres container id> bash

To see all dbs

psql -U postgres
\l

To see django db where "demoz" is your db name

psql demoz postgres

OR from the vagrant shell connect to the db container remotely

SEE docker inspect <your postgres container id> to get IP address

psql -h 172.18.0.2 -p 5432 -U postgres -d demoz

Add port forwarding configs to your .Vagrant file and reload vagrant

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8000

Add allowable IPs and Hosts to your django settings (SEE .../config/settings/local.py)

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1']
INTERNAL_IPS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1', '10.0.2.2', ]
