This sample contains the completed program from the tutorial, Using Django in Visual Studio Code. Intermediate steps are not included.

The sample also includes a Dockerfile to build a production-ready container image that uses uwsgi and nginx; the uwsgi.ini file provides uwsgi configuration.

To run the sample:

Create a virtual environment as described in the tutorial.
Install packages with pip install -r requirements.txt.
Activate the virtual environment by running source env/bin/activate (Linux/MacOS) or env\scripts\activate (Windows).
Create and initialize the database by running python manage.py migrate.
Create a superuser as described at the end of the tutorial.

Contributions to the sample are welcome. When submitting changes, also consider submitting matching changes to the tutorial, the source file for which is tutorial-django.md.

Known issues

CSS is lost if you set DEBUG=False in settings.py; the workaround is to include an added script at the end of dockerfile.txt to serve static file differently. See Issue 13 for details.
