This is a dockerized version of django channels example app:

https://github.com/jacobian/channels-example

All credits for writing the app go to @jacobian.

Running with docker-compose

Just the demo

If you just want to try the demo out, all you need to do is to clone this repository and run:

$ docker-compose up

Also changing the app

If you would like to play with the app itself, you should clone it locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/jacobian/channels-example

and then mount the sources inside containers. There's a special compose file for this use case:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-with-mount.yml up

Django is able to reload its webserver if you change the code, that's why sources are mounted inside.

Open in browser

You can open browser now and check the app:

xdg-open http://$(docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' $(docker-compose ps -q web)):8000
