Docker Django Boilerplate
Minimal setup for a Django project with Docker, following the 12factor app principles. This repo contains skeleton code to get up and running with Docker & Django quickly. The image uses uWSGI to host the Django project. It's up to you to put Nginx or Apache in front in production.
This image is not intended as being a base image for a Django project. It's a boilerplate, you can copy/paste this and use it as a base to start a project. The image contains the hello Django project. Replace the word hello with the name of your project.
