Django In Docker Starter

The project generates a random 64-character SECRET_KEY on each Django start; you can override it with a fixed value to persist the key across restarts.

The setup uses Python 3.13 on Alpine 3.21 for the app, and the README describes PostgreSQL and nginx using their latest Alpine-based images.

The repository provides docker-compose configurations for an app service (Django), a PostgreSQL database service, and an nginx service, plus a sample nginx.conf and static asset folders.

It includes production-oriented components (nginx, compose overlays), but requires additional production hardening such as persistent volumes, secret management, TLS, and scaling configuration.
