Dockerising wagtail projects in 5 minutes - Sævar Öfjörð Magnússon

Uh uh originally I wanted to do a talk about how I would uh dock raise a uh an existing Wagtail project. Uh the backstory is that uh like in January I got a new computer and we decided to uh move everything we had for clients. Uh uh to Docker. So uh I want to maintain like a clean uh host computer without any uh libraries or Python stuff in it so I only use Docker to develop locally. So it turns out that I don't have an existing project on my computer like I couldn't create a base project on my computer because uh I don't have any of the dependencies.

So it was a kind of a cat's twenty two. Uh so I flipped it so So I will show you how I created a small uh template repository which will uh allow you to create a uh Docker uh Doc Rest Wagtail project in you know a few minutes. But first, uh this is a mess mistake many rookies do. They don't have the proper attire when working with docs. So you know. Um, okay, now I'm ready. Uh yeah, so I created a small uh template uh repository which uh you can use to uh

generate a product project. So I'm going to use this template I'm going to create a my Wagtail site. That's available. Create the repository from template So now I have the repository. I can uh clone the repository locally. So I will open up a terminal. Uh can you see this? No. Yeah. Okay. So I'll go to something like uh Code git clone repository. So what I would do here is just uh Docker compose

up uh Port already all located. Yeah, okay. So yeah, I run a lot of uh Dockers and some Sometimes they uh conflict. So I have this uh thing where I can uh customize the port. Uh so what I do initially is I I let the container run in uh kind of uh an infinite loop really. Uh It's not doing anything at the moment because when you have uh an empty container, I I I didn't want to go uh the path of uh like doing everything for you in the beginning.

Because you want to control perhaps uh the name of your project and stuff like that. So I would just do a Docker compose exec Go into a shell and do a wagtail uh start my site in the current folder. Uh I will I can do a manage migrate. Um so now I'm gonna stop the container again I'm going to switch it over to the correct correct uh process Run it again.

So here it is. Thank you.
