Coding Workshops

Explainer

The backend is contained in a docker-compose instance with three images: the database, django application, and docker instance. The third image is responsible for running code in an isolated environment.

Currently, the only code transpilation that is supported is F# to JS. This is done through the Fable docker image, which is managed by git-subrepo, a less confusing alternative to git-submodules.

Basic setup

0. Install docker and docker-compose

1. Create a root .env file by copying .env.example

2. Build the image docker build .

3. Run Docker Compose process docker-compose up

4. In a different window, load some data bash scripts/load-initial.sh

Misc

Run Docker Compose in detached mode, which means that it runs in the background

docker-compose up -d

Run django command

bash scripts/run-django-script [COMMAND]

Launch Docker-in-Docker shell

docker-compose run docker sh THEN docker --host docker [COMMAND]
