Django-Todolist

A task management application (Todo List) built with Django. This project is designed to demonstrate skills in working with Django, Docker, and Docker Compose for portfolio purposes.

Architecture

The project uses:

• Docker - for containerizing the Django application
• MySQL - as the database in a separate Docker container
• Docker Compose - for orchestrating the multi-container application

Running Locally

Prerequisites

git clone https://github.com/Bondaliname/dockerization_todolist.git
cd dockerization_todolist

2. Start the application using Docker Compose:

docker-compose --env-file .env.example up --build

Verifying the Application

http://localhost:8000

2. Check container status:

3. View logs:

docker-compose logs -f

4. Verify database connection:

Cleanup

To stop and remove all containers, networks, and volumes:

# Stop containers

# Remove containers along with volumes (database data)
docker-compose down -v

# Remove images as well
docker-compose down -v --rmi all

# Complete cleanup (including unused resources)
docker system prune -a --volumes

You can create your own .env file based on .env.example to customize the settings.
