Django setup

This tutorial will cover how you can connect Airflow to Django. So let's get that set up.

1. Make sure your database runs

Our Django projects are going to be plugging into some Postgres databases. We'll use Docker and docker-compose to make life easy.

cd src/database
docker-compose up

If you take a look at the docker-composition you'll see that we have made one user, pguser. It has the password password. There are 4 databases that it has access to:

  • db1: This is used for django_project_1
  • test_db1: This will be used by unit tests running in django_project_1
  • db2: This is used for django_project_2
  • test_db2: This will be used by unit tests running in django_project_2

You will need to have this docker-composition running any time you want to access the django-project databases in any way.

2. Add fake data into Django DBs

Make sure your database is running as per 4, then in a separate terminal:

Activate your virtual env then:

cd src/django_project_1
python manage.py migrate 
python manage.py create_demo_data

cd ../django_project_2
python manage.py migrate 
python manage.py create_demo_data
