  • Dockerized development: The template allows for building and debugging the Django project within a Docker container.

  • Serving static files with Nginx: The template enables serving static files, including user-uploaded files, with Nginx.
  • Automatic database migration and static file collection: The template automatically handles database migration and static file collection when starting or restarting the Django container.
  • Automatic creation of first user: The template automatically creates the first user in Django with a default login and password.
  • Automatic Let's Encrypt certificate creation and renewal: The template facilitates the automatic creation and renewal of Let's Encrypt certificate.
