What?

This is example project for my blog entry: Debugging Dockerized Python (Django) App With PyCharm

Usage

1. Run helper script ./build-core-django.sh. It will build core image.
2. Run docker compose command: docker-compose -f docker-compose-development.yml up. It will build development image, and then run it with Postgres container.
3. Check if everything is ok: docker ps. There should be 2 containers running: debuggingdockerizedpythonapp_django_1 and debuggingdockerizedpythonapp_postgres_1. Note that the firs one is forwarding two ports: 2000 for SSH connection and 8080 for webserver.
4. In PyCharm, add new python interpreter. Choose remote and fill it's configuration with settings:

• Host: your host ip address (for my docker-mashine: 192.168.99.100)
• Port: 2000
• Username: root
• Password: password
• Interpreter path: /usr/local/bin/python

5. For the first time it may complain about new host and so on. So don't worry.
6. Add new run configuration with settings:

• Host: 0.0.0.0
• Port: 8080
• Environment variables: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myapp.settings
• Working directory: /app
• Path mappings: your absolute path to project direcory=/app

7. Hit run button! You should get fresh running Django app.
8. Now set breakpoint in setting file and start debug.
9. Voilà!
