Elevate Your Django Project Deployment with the Optimal Python Image Selection

Content:

In the realm of scientific exploration, we often face the dilemma of choice. When deploying Django projects in the cloud, the selection of an appropriate Python image is such a challenge. After in-depth research and numerous trials, we have found that the Python image version python:3.12.3-bookworm perfectly meets our needs.

This image version of Python is 3.12.3, which will be available until 2028. This version of the Python image has only one Python version, which means that when executing pip, there is no need to consider the pip version, and when installing related plugins, it will automatically find the matching plugin, and there will be no situation where the installed plugin does not match.

In addition, the uwsgi of this image version can meet our needs. We use the python:3.12.3-bookworm version, do not need to upgrade pip, after apt-get installs uwsgi, the obtained version is python311_plugin.so, uwsgi version is 2.0.21-5.1.

We provide a Dockerfile file, you can modify it according to your needs. This file contains all the steps required to create a Django project, including creating a virtual environment, installing the required plugins, creating a Django project, etc.

We believe that this Python image version will provide strong support for your Django project deployment. We look forward to your feedback, let us create a better development environment together.

Download the image docker command:

docker pull python:3.12.3-bookworm

Running the Image - Test - [With a Mounted Volume for Easy File Transfer Between Host and Container]

docker run --rm --name pythons -v /home/luichun/luichuns/testfile:/home/testfile -it python:3.12.3-bookworm  bash

In this environment, you can easily install the required plugins. Just go to the /home/testfile directory and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

cd /home/testfile
pip install -r requirements.txt
