Update Dockerfile #82
Conversation
WalkthroughThe Dockerfile was updated to consolidate multi-line apt-get commands into a single RUN instruction for improved readability. Commented-out Django migration commands were removed, and a new default CMD was added to start the Django development server on all interfaces at port 8000 when the container launches. Changes

7-10: Evaluate apt-get upgrade usage and optimize layer size.We generally recommend avoiding
apt-get upgradein Dockerfiles as it can unpredictably update base packages and inflate your image. Instead, pin required package versions or rely on the base image’s maintained security updates. Additionally, consider adding--no-install-recommendstoapt-get installto reduce image size.Example diff:
RUN apt-get update && \ - apt-get upgrade -y && \ apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gcc default-libmysqlclient-dev pkg-config && \ rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
18-20: Ensure CMD aligns with production best practices.Adding
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"]keeps the container running for development, but the Django development server is not suitable for production use. Consider:
- Using an entrypoint script to run migrations and
collectstatic.- Switching to a WSGI server like Gunicorn or Daphne for production workloads.
- Adding a
HEALTHCHECKto verify the server is responsive.

The original Dockerfile successfully built the image, but the container exited immediately after starting because it lacked a CMD instruction. By default, the container was executing python3 with no arguments, which opens an interactive shell and exits instantly in a non-interactive container.
What Was Changed
Added the following line to the end of the Dockerfile:
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
Impact
1.Ensures the container starts and keeps running by launching the Django development server.
2.Makes the Django app accessible on port 8000 from outside the container.
3.Helps developers test the application inside a Docker environment without manual commands.
