How to generate them? database will be created automatically with credentials provided in .env/.production/.postgres?

I'm new to docker, cookiecutter, and this stuff. Very familiar with Django, pretty familiar with SCSS/SASS/LESS->CSS, and transpiling into JS. I've got a new project, created with cookiecutter-django, running in PyCharm via Docker - and it's a beautiful thing...

But how/why isn't gulp/scss->css/js transpiling baked into this project to 'just work'? It seems like it asks the right question on startup (re: js task runner/gulp). Looks like there are a couple of (long-standing?) PRs relating to gulp+docker, a couple relating to webpack too.

Looking to get my TailwindCSS going on, maybe a little Typescript, yo!

Remember, I'm new to docker and gulp... save me people!

@jaddison we haven't got around to get this properly supported, unfortunately. The maintainers have had less time to dedicate to the project lately, so this type of change wasn't finalised. I might have a bit more time this month, which means I might have some time to review if you feel like trying

A starting point is #1687, which needs to be adapted for Gulp 4...

James Addison

@jaddison

@browniebroke I see that a gulp 4 PR was just merged today, correct?

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

Correct, and it’s conflicting a bit with #1687, it’ll need a couple of tweaks but should mostly work

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

@jaddison just updated the pull request if you want to give it a try

Is there any easy way to deploy the project on DigitalOcean?

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

@iJackCrack_twitter It should work pretty well using Docker, do you have any specific problem?

Jack

@iJackCrack_twitter

@browniebroke I am worried about loosing data in docker environment but I also tried docker build and getting this error.

time="2019-04-01T16:04:06Z" level=error msg="Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains \"ijackcrack.com\" detected thanks to rule \"Host:ijackcrack.com\" : unable to generate a certificate for the domains [ijackcrack.com]: acme: Error -> One or more domains had a problem:\n[ijackcrack.com] acme: error: 400 :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:connection :: Fetching http://ijackcrack.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/KewQchS5fzcKYonHz6Lhnz0AvRFjI7vUHuxZ9NfWEqE: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem), url: \n"

I am using production.yml to replicate production environment locally

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

It looks like your DNS is not pointing at the machine running your site. If you run production locally that may happen.
You need to create a DNS A record pointing at your droplet IP, and when you start the stack on your droplet, Let’s Encrypt should be able to acquire a TLS certificate automatically.

Jack

@iJackCrack_twitter

That worked thanks.
Will there be any issue if I install postgres in my droplet outside of docker and simply put the credentials in .envs/.production/.postgres?

So there won't be any risk of loosing data while rebuilding container.
Not sure if that will effect performance

ak4zh

@ak4zh

@browniebroke Interested in the above question as well.

Is it possible to use a standalone postgres database ?
Will it work if I pass DATABASE_URL variable in .postgres env or in production config.

I have a digitalocean postgres instance running with some existing bots, and I want my django app to share same database with my Telegram bot.

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

I’ve never tried it, but that should work, yes. And replacing the DATABASE_URL in the .env file should be enough, I imagine.

@browniebroke What is the correct way to make migrations while using a docker environment.

If I make changes locally -> push to repository -> Git pull on server -> docker-compose build -> docker-compose up -> docker-compose run --rm django python manage.py migrate

I get this error:

’’’
Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied.
Run 'manage.py makemigrations' to make new migrations, and then re-run 'manage.py migrate' to apply them.
’’’

ak4zh

@ak4zh

docker-compose run --rm django python manage.py makemigrations

builds the required migrations, but migrate command again gives the same error.

Seems I need to makemigrations before pushing to git, but then I have to set .env file with all required variables Database, celery in addition of docker environment.

Jack

@iJackCrack_twitter

I have this strange issue. I am using a script that works perfect on Docker Local but in Production Docker it is not redirecting to the set url.

<script async src="https://telegram.org/js/telegram-widget.js?5" data-telegram-login="MySamplebot" data-size="large" data-auth-url="https://mywebsite.com/users/tgauth" data-request-access="write"></script>

@ak4zh

Does anyone know where is the domains public certificate stored (cert.pem file) in docker?

I need to cert.pem to use in a webhook

Jack

@iJackCrack_twitter

My website works all good with non www version but the www.example.com version gives me 404 error and also SSL does not work

I have A record set for www and @ to my server IP

Have ".mydomain.com" in allowed host

What can be the issue?

@atitut6_twitter

Hi Danny! I was looking some way to open all data on my postgres db through DBeaver, but everytime I input the HOST, USER, PASS, and DB it's just show "Connection attempt timed out.". So, according on that case what step I missed? I'm not install the postgresql on my laptop

Mauricio Téllez

@mtellezj

Hi, suddenly I'm getting this error when I tried to build my production app:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/wheel-0.33.1.dist-info/

, but in base.txt I got this: wheel==0.29.0. Then I build the image on my machine and upload to docker-hub, and download the image on production instead of build, but now I get the Postgres is not available , but If I connect to the django container and run the code of postgres_ready() (defined in django/entrypoint.sh) I can connect to postgres. Any clue?

Mauricio Téllez

@mtellezj

I wasn't update the image so the postgres error. Now I'm deploying to production with a modified docker-compose.yml to use the image instead of build one and everything is working fine. At production I still has a git clone version of the project, but since I'm using only images from docker-hub, should I delete the git's folder and only use a docker file with an .env? or the content of the .envare copied to the image on build and can be delete on production? thanks for the help.

ak4zh

@ak4zh

@atitut6_twitter Because your postgres is not set to allow connection from any ip other than localhost.

You need to allow remote connections by editing pg_hba.conf file of postgres

@PiyuGandhi

Hi everyone, I have an issue, I am trying to deploy using docker and I wanted to know how much time does it take after docker-compose -f production.yml up command . It isn't a big application, running on localhost takes about 2-3 seconds but in production Idk why it's taking too much time (7-8 minutes atm and still not done)

Running it for the first time on production

@senderle

I have plans to write an app using cookiecutter-django that serves some large static files to authenticated users only. The files are too big to wrap in a Django file response, and must only be accessible to authenticated users.

I did this before with a project that I migrated to cookiecutter-django when you were using Caddy. The change at that point was simple. Caddy uses the same header as nginx, the X-Accel-Redirect header, to tell the proxy to serve an otherwise inaccessible file instead of forwarding the response. (Here's a good description of the config required with nginx; it's not very different with Caddy -- https://wellfire.co/learn/nginx-django-x-accel-redirects/)

I have no idea how to accomplish the same thing with Traefik, and it appears it may not be possible at all since Traefik isn't actually a web server. Does anyone have recommendations on how to make this work with cookiecutter-django? Does this mean I just can't use it for projects like these?

Yann-Sebastien Tremblay-Johnston

@underchemist

Is it intended that with a fresh template project from https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django.git using docker/docker-compose I would still need to manually export DATABASE_URL like /entrypoint does already if in production?

in order to do things like python3 manage.py createsuperuser ?

i.e. if I'm using local settings (which uses /start as entrypoint), not production.

I posted a version of my question above to stack overflow here.

Would love any feedback at all!

Hi, I have recently begin using cookiecutter on django. I read the documentation mentioning support for Postgre, is it possible to instead use MSSQL?

El 李天宝

@elcolie

Suppose I am using AWS Lambda. And I have to dispatch a long running job to child process. What is the best practice on this problem?

Burhan Khalid

@burhan

What is your concern with the approach you have now?

El 李天宝

@elcolie

@burhan I have long running task. And normally I dispatch it to child process. Luckily cookiecutter-django has build-in Celery/Redis for me.

Does anyone know of a way to programatically approve accounts after adding them or disable approving the mail address in development? I couldn't find any field in the db. At the moment I add some users for testing, but I always need to approve their mail address after logging in first

@pydanny I have a separate postgresql so I set DATABASE_URL variable in .postgres and also removed postgres dependency from docker compose... Now when I run docker-compose up it gives me error Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available... It will work if I keep the postgres stuffs intact in docker-compose but that isn't needed as my project dont meed postgres image running. So you know what else I need to fix to get rid of waiting for PostgreSQL error?

ak4zh

@ak4zh

I guess it's something in entrypoint file

step21

@step21

@Ak4zh thanks!

Bruno Alla

@browniebroke

@Ak4zh yes it’s in the entrypoint file, it looks for user, password, host & DB rather than the DATABASE_URL.

ak4zh

@ak4zh

@browniebroke Ok got it resolved. The issue was I was using localhost in POSTGRES_HOST as my postgres was in same server but I had to give actual IP else it refers to localhost inside docker. Another question is if I have DJANGO_READ_DOT_ENV_FILE=True does docker setup also take use of .env in root directory? Or it only uses the ones inside .envs . This is little confusing where shall I put all my env variables
