In this post we will run Django application behind a NGINX webserver, which is a very common practice in production.

An easy way to start an Elasticsearch server with Kibana (Elasticsearch frontend) instance!

In the last post I covered starting a new Django project with Docker, and how to build a custom container image for my project, but what I haven’t covered is how to use a Database and how persist your data since all data stored in the container ephemeral and would only exist during the life span of the container.

Docker is an interesting technology, although still young it gained a lot of buzz and momentum.

The last couple of weeks I started playing with Docker to see how can I use it for Django project development and deployment.
