• The main steps for the Dockerfile are:

  • Create a .ssh folder.

  • Copy the deploy key into the .ssh folder.

  • Add gitlab server to known_hosts file.

  • Setup .ssh/config file to explicitly specify the deploy key and username to be used.

  • Clone the repo.

• Here is some example Dockerfile code.

  Code Block

  RUN mkdir -p /root/.ssh && chmod 700 /root/.ssh ADD id_rsa_ece_li_scheduling_deploy /root/.ssh/id_rsa_ece_li_scheduling_deploy RUN chmod 600 /root/.ssh/id_rsa_ece_li_scheduling_deploy RUN ssh-keyscan -H git.uwaterloo.ca >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts RUN echo "Host git.uwaterloo.ca\n\ HostName git.uwaterloo.ca\n\ IdentityFile /root/.ssh/id_rsa_ece_li_scheduling_deploy\n\ StrictHostKeyChecking no\n\ User ist-git" >> /root/.ssh/config RUN chmod 600 /root/.ssh/config RUN git clone ist-git@git.uwaterloo.ca:d24lau/ece_li_scheduling.git

Docker build and run

At this stage, you should be able to use a browser to test that the Django server is up and running. Go to http://<server address>:8000.

Start First App

• Navigate to the root directory of the Django project (where the manage.py file is located).

• Use manage.py to initialize the app:

  Code Block
  python3 manage.py startapp <app name>

Register app

Register the app with the project.

• Go to the project folder (e.g. /opt/ece_li_scheduling/ece_li_scheduling) where the settings.py file is stored.

• In the settings.py file, add the name of the new app to the INSTALLED_APPS list:

  Code Block
  INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', '<app name>', ]

• In the urls.py file, direct all traffic for the new app to its .urls file.

  Code Block
  urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('<app name>/', include('<app name>.urls')) ]

  Note that include needs to be imported from django.urls.

Create view

The app needs at least one view.
