Deployment

Docker deployment

1. Copy appropriate development.yml or production.yml to docker-compose.yml. Edit postgres database password, can generate one via

    import os
    os.urandom(24).encode('hex') # or
   
    import random,string
    ''.join([random.SystemRandom().choice("{}{}".format(string.ascii_letters, string.digits)) for i in range(63)])
   

2. Copy settings/local.py.example to settings/local.py and set SECRET_KEY and db password
3. Run docker-compose build
4. Check sanity of configuration, then run docker-compose up -d nginx
5. Upgrading postgres is tricky, simplest at the moment is to dump database and reload from dump in upgraded version (currently pinned to 9.6) - https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/issues/37
