docker-django-example

Congrats to the Django team! If anyone is curious, I've been maintaining a Docker Compose based Django + Celery + Postgres + Redis + esbuild + Tailwind starter app for years and just updated it for Django 6.0 at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example. The only thing I haven't done is pre-configure the new CSP settings because I want to let that marinate a bit before putting it in as a default.

uv works great in a container, you can tell it to skip creating a venv and use the system's version of Python (in this case, let's say Python 3.14 from the official Python image on the Docker Hub). The biggest wins are speed and a dependable lock file. Dependencies get installed ~10x faster than with pip, at least on my machine. Both of my Docker Compose starter app examples for https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example and https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example use uv. I also wrote about making the switch here: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/switching-pip-to-uv-in-a-dock...

> Your new version no longer has the bug we are talking about. I don't know why you are trying to pretend it was never there though? I'm not sure I understand what you mean? 1. I posted the article last week on my site 2. I noticed it was on HN today (yay) 3. I looked at the parent's comment 4. The parent's description isn't what happens with the original code 5. I made the comment you're replying to on HN to address their concerns and included a refactored version of the original condition for clarity then said I pushed the updates 6. I pushed the updates to both git and my site so both match up There's nothing to pretend about and there's no bug because both versions of the code do the same thing, the 2nd version is just easier to read and requires less `uv` knowledge to know what happens when `uv lock` runs wi

If anyone is looking for examples on using uv with Docker, I have Flask and Django example apps at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example and https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example. It prevents uv from making a virtual environment and does some optimizations like compiling byte code once when your dependencies get installed. It was well worth the switch. I noticed a ~10x improvement for speed compared to pip (30s to 3s to install all dependencies). Proper lock file support is nice too. Funny enough I wrote about and made a video about switching to uv about a week ago here https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/switching-pip-to-uv-in-a-dock....
