How to use:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
tar xvzf {downloaded .tar.gz file}
docker compose build

All these should have an “app” service / container that you can shell in. The source files are mapped (via host mount) to the /code subdirectory inside the container.

Important:

Check docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile to see if there are additional setup instructions.

Shelling in:

docker compose run --rm --service-ports app /bin/bash

Remember to add the --service-ports option so that the shell instance exports the port(s) needed to access the server from the host outside the container.

How These Were Created

On a MacBook Pro, I created the necessary files and tested them, then I ran:

cd myproject
tar -cvzf {file.tar.gz} --exclude="**/__pycache__/*" .dockerignore .git .gitignore .python-version docker-compose.yml Dockerfile pyproject.toml README.md {...}

where {file.tar.gz} is the tar.gz file name and {...} are files and subdirectories beyond the basic files listed.
