Instructions

1. Fork this repo (So you can pull updates from us time to time)
2. Start new machine - docker-machine create -d virtualbox dev. more drivers
3. Configure your shell to use the new machine environment - eval $(docker-machine env dev)
4. Change the build paths in the docker-compose.yml file to point to your local repositories
5. Make sure that there is a .dockerignore file in each of your repositories that ignores unwanted files/folders line venv, .git, node_modules folders, etc.
6. Build images - docker-compose build
7. Start services - docker-compose up -d
8. Create migrations - docker-compose exec worker /usr/local/bin/python manage.py migrate (Please ensure you are not running this command in backend and image that might receive traffic from traefik. Because you don't want a request to come to this container and fail. )
9. Grab IP - docker-machine ip dev - and view in your browser

Scaling

Suppose you want to run X backend containers and Y worker containers: docker-compose scale backend=X worker=Y

S3 Based front-end deployment

Refer our S3 deployment guide: S3_FRONTEND_DEPLOYMENT.md

Importing / Exporting Docker Machines

Use the machine-share npm package. Check out the docs on this GitHub repo: bhurlow/machine-share

Inspecting / Deleting Volumes

• To list your volumes: docker volume ls
• To inspect a volume: docker volume inspect my_volume_name
• To remove a volume: docker volume rm my_volume_name

Be sure to run docker-compose down before removing volume to prevent it from being activly used while deleting.
