Please use the org. space https://github.com/mdn/django-locallibrary-tutorial if you don't know what I am doing.

To start up this django server. You should request docker install.

git clone https://github.com/WindoC/django-locallibrary-tutorial
cd django-locallibrary-tutorial
docker build -t django-example .

Notice: Make sure you are in the folder django-locallibrary-tutorial

Start the container at the backgroup.

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app --name django-playground django-example

remark: -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app make you can modify the code outside from the container

Some django init command may need for first run.

docker exec -it django-playground python manage.py makemigrations
docker exec -it django-playground python manage.py migrate
docker exec -it django-playground python manage.py createsuperuser # Create a superuser

Other command you may want to use. Just add the docker prefix before your command docker exec -it django-playground <your command>

Example:

docker exec -it django-playground python manage.py collectstatic
docker exec -it django-playground python manage.py test # Run the standard tests. These should all pass.

Also, you can get into the shell CMD by:

docker exec -it django-playground bash

We can add environment to control setting when execute docker create the docker run ... django-example

docker run -d -e TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app --name django-playground django-example

Remark: you can add -e TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong to pass to setting outside through os.getenv(XXX) to inside the Django.

• TZ : Time Zone setting
• DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL : DEBUG / INFO / WARNING / ERROR / CRITICAL
• DJANGO_SECRET_KEY
• DJANGO_DEBUG = True / False

Check running log:

docker logs django-playground

if too many old log. Add --since 3m to get the last 3 mintues logs. Or add --tail 100 to get last 100 lines

docker logs --since 3m django-playground
docker logs --tail 100 django-playground

if you what to monitor the log continuously. Add -f

docker logs -f django-playground

To stop it by:

docker stop django-playground

And you can start it again by:

docker start django-playground

Or if you need to restart it:

docker restart django-playground

To remove and clear your playground

docker stop django-playground
docker rm django-playground

Tutorial "Local Library" website written in Django.

For detailed information about this project see the associated MDN tutorial home page.

This web application creates an online catalog for a small local library, where users can browse available books and manage their accounts.

The main features that have currently been implemented are:

• There are models for books, book copies, genre, language and authors.
• Users can view list and detail information for books and authors.
• Admin users can create and manage models. The admin has been optimised (the basic registration is present in admin.py, but commented out).
• Librarians can renew reserved books

To get this project up and running locally on your computer:

1. Set up the Python development environment. We recommend using a Python virtual environment.

   Note: This has been tested against Django 3.1.2 (and may not work or be "optimal" for other versions).

2. Assuming you have Python setup, run the following commands (if you're on Windows you may use py or py -3 instead of python to start Python):

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   python3 manage.py makemigrations
   python3 manage.py migrate
   python3 manage.py collectstatic
   python3 manage.py test # Run the standard tests. These should all pass.
   python3 manage.py createsuperuser # Create a superuser
   python3 manage.py runserver
   

3. Open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to open the admin site
4. Create a few test objects of each type.
5. Open tab to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to see the main site, with your new objects.
