Brilliant tutorial: easy to follow, explaining everything you need to know to get started without getting into unnecessary details and, I can't stress this one enough - the font is zoomed in enough to be readable in split screen. Thank you

[@usmanafridi9668]

I had lots of ambiguities about Docker and tried many times to download it and then delete it because I didn't know how to use it and what it is used for. This is by far the best tutorial about Docker for beginners. I thank you for making this video.

[@raminasady719]

This video was really helpful. Docker file is different from a programming language or framework to another. It's also depends on the dependencies and requirements of a specific project. So, it was very important to me find a tutorial that helps me configure docker file for my Django project. Thank to Zander I managed to run my first docker container.

Great to hear!

[@dowaynebreedt2576]

Thanks for this video, so many tutorials out there seem to be copied from the same source, and all try to crutch on compose files without actually explaining them, this is the one place on the internet where it's explaned how to run a django project in a regular Dockerfile setup, rather than compose.

​@@veryacademy Thank you Zander. All is well, I hope you are doing good too. It all worked fine but yes the RPi3b is a little slow at take off :-) I have a pi4 too I will try it on. might be worth mentioning that people can run the command using -d to leave the terminal window free to do other things or shut down. On to your next tutorial ... Thanks again for all your brilliant tutorials and keep up the great work

[@ExponiendoalosLacayosMen-tw2no]

I could experience the problems of not using Docker very clearly one day. I developed one django app in my linux machine. Then I thought I could just copy the entire project and make it run on windows machine using pycharm. Catastrophic, all kinds of errors, I could not launch the application, it would not even recognize the python interpreter.

[@gbrachetta]

@@veryacademy How about a part four: "deploying django in a docker container"? :)

[@necuspam]

some things might be not so easy on WIN10... for instance, when several installations of python are present on computer. .\venv\Scripts\activate for instance, default port might be forbidden and some other can be used. It was somewhat messy while defining settings, uls, views and templates file. Maybe gitignore would be an option if everything is versioned... When building image, it can be seen it was already run in the terminal... however, more clear syntax would be: docker build -t 'python-django' -f Dockerfile . In video, when running container, it is not clear which port is host, and which is container. Besides that, very nice explaining, I would dare to say the best available on this topic. However, I would suggest to mention more possible issues that could appear during the process.

[@alokgupta168]

It is not correct to say that if a django app runs fine on the local machine and after containerizing it if the container runs on AWS/Azure then the app will run fine on AWS/Azure. Not true. In docker we are just talking about running the container on different environments so as to collaborate. But there is no guarantee that the app will run the same in the runtime environment of the server as it ran on the localhost

if you just installed docker - might need restart. Else docker is not in the path so you cant call it from the terminal, one of many solutions. Try installing docker again.

[@suggu_sandeep_passion]

i didnt understand docker ignore file

[@veryacademy]

If there are any files you don’t want to be part of your docker image you define it in the docker ignore file. So for example you might make a new docker image from a project folder, in that folder you have some notes files you use to help you work, you don’t want this part of your docker image when you build one, so you ignore those files by defining in the ignore file
