The aims of this course is to:
- learn Docker, Compose and Kubernetes for managing, deploying and testing Django projects
The Docker Mastery with Django Tutorial Series is designed for students who wants to learn how to use Docker, Compose and Kubernetes while developing with the Django Framework. This course is a great way to start learning how to dockerize Django and JS applications. We start from a beginners level slowly moving into more advanced topics. I have tried to design this course to be modular so that you could also focus in on particular subjects, tutorials or aspects of Docker/Compose/Kubernetes should you prefer this mode of learning.
On this course you will be taught a wide range of skills, here are a few topics that we will be learning:
- How to use Docker, Compose and Kubernetes on your machine for better software building and testing.
- Build and publish your own custom Django images
- Gain the skills to build Django development environments with your code running in containers.
The tutorials, can be found here on our YouTube channel course playlist.
- Local admin access to install Docker and Python for Mac/Windows/Linux.
- Have a GitHub and Docker Hub account.
This course tries to cater for many types of learners:
- new developers,
- not so new developers,
- degree students,
- Everyone else who is looking to learn Docker
Part-1 How to Dockerize a Django application
Take your first steps with Docker containers. In this tutorial we are going to Dockerize a Django application as a complete beginner to Docker. We first Create a new Django application then Prepare a Django app for Docker building a Dockerfile. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. Now we go ahead and Build a Docker image and then finally Start a new Docker container to display Django running in our container.

Part-2 Build and start a Django project with Docker Compose & work in a Docker Container
In this Docker compose tutorial we start an application with Docker Compose and run it in a container. I will then show you how to configure a volume to build a mirrored folder from your computer and the container. This way you can develop on your computer but host the application in a container. This is a docker compose tutorial for beginners. Take your first steps with Docker containers.

Part-3 How to configure PostgreSQL or MySQL database with Python Django
In this Docker compose tutorial we start a Django application with Docker Compose and run it in a container. I will then show you how to configure a volume to build a mirrored folder from your computer and the container. This way you can develop on your computer but host the application in a container. Next up we configure first a PostgreSQL database and attach it to Django then build a bassline configuration for MySQL for a Django application. This is a docker compose tutorial for beginners. Take your first steps with Docker containers.

Part-4 Docker Compose | Django | PostgreSQL | Redis & Celery Baseline Configuration
In this Docker compose tutorial we setup Django with Postgres, Redis and Celery. We conclude the tutorial by building a new image, testing the setup by creating a simple Celery task.

Part-5 How to Dockerize a React application
This is a docker tutorial for beginners. Take your first steps with Docker containers with React. In this tutorial we are going to Dockerize a React application as a complete beginner to Docker. We first Create a new React application then Prepare a React app for Docker building a Dockerfile. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. Now we go ahead and Build a Docker image and then finally Start a new Docker container to display React running in our container.

Part-6 Docker | Towards serving React (Nginx) with Django API (gunicorn)
This is a docker compose tutorial we take your first steps creating a deployment setup with React and Django running on a Nginx server, supported with gunicorn for Django. Having already created a basic React and Django application, see the link below for repositories, we first build the docker files needed for both Django and React before then building a docker compose file. This tutorial gives you a better understanding of docker volumes and bind mounts as we look at using both tools. We then build our nginx configuration to serve react from the root directory. Finally we expand the nginx configuration to include a proxy to the Django API.
