Setup

This page covers setting our developmental Docker image on your local machine and getting started.

Docker

An important note is that we have stopped supporting Windows development. If you are on windows you need to have WSL installed. Here is the offical Microsoft page on how to install WSL.

Docker desktop is really easy and intuative to use. If you don't already have Docker experance I would recommend installing Docker desktop. Instructions can be found here.

If you are on Windows with WSL this page contains the information needed to make sure that Docker is running using WSL.

Now that you have Docker installed we want to make a clone of our developmental Docker repo. If you are on Windows with WSL open a new terminal with WSL. If you are on Mac or Linux just open your normal terminal.

Then run git clone https://github.com/cmureadme/website-docker-local.git

From there follow the instructions on the repo's readme

Note that when you deploy the website locally you will run with Debug=True. Our actual production websites run with Debug=False.
