This is a continuation of yesterday's challenge, which was to deploy Django to K8s. I'm starting with a dockerized version of Django. Now I need to write the Kubernetes resource files.

To run locally, copy example.env to .env and make any changes you deem necessary. Next, run docker-compose up. You should have your very own Django running on http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Kubernetes prerequisites

In order to deploy to Kubernetes, I need to store my image in a Docker registry somewhere. I chose a Docker Hub repo.

To build and push to Docker hub, I ran the following commands.

$ docker login
$ docker build -t textninja/hellodjango .
$ docker push textninja/hellodjango

Deploying to Kubernetes

To deploy to Kubernetes, follow the instructions in the deployment folder.

Project notes

• I need to create django locally
• I then need to dockerize it and push to an image registry
• I'll use kustomize to override the settings file
