Add how to invoke manage.py subcommands to the documentation about container-healthchecks HOT 8 CLOSED

Is this section good enough/understandable https://github.com/galexrt/docker-healthchecks#run-managepy-inside-the-container ?

from container-healthchecks.

Yeah I think so.
I've seen other docker containers with shorter docker commands. For example I've never seen a /entrypoint.sh there before the subcommands.
Can this be shortened?

from container-healthchecks.

@Braintelligence It would be either the "shortcut" /entrypoint.sh app:managepy or python3 /healthchecks/manage.py which is even longer for manage.py.

The others don't use manage.py so don't need to go through /entrypoint.sh.

https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django does it like this: http://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deployment-with-docker.html#run-your-app-with-docker-compose

This should be docker exec commands, from what I know.

I thought maybe we could use a similar structure.

from container-healthchecks.

It is a docker exec, the /entrypoint.sh is from inside the container.

docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /entrypoint.sh app:managepy YOUR_MANAGE_PY_FLAGS_COMMAND

What do you mean exactly?

from container-healthchecks.

I meant a structure like this: docker-compose -f production.yml run django python manage.py shell

Reworked for exec.

So exec would look something like
docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME python manage.py ARGUMENT

Is it possible to leave out the entrypoint.sh in the exec invoke and make like a switch-case?
Something like

if argument_1 == python:
# we know, that we need to use python for the following argument
        if argument_2 == manage.py
        # we use python as binary for manage.py in the django context and apply argument_3 as subcommand

from container-healthchecks.

@Braintelligence That is what the entrypoint.sh script does. See https://github.com/galexrt/docker-healthchecks/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L132-L135 and https://github.com/galexrt/docker-healthchecks/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L142-L155.

This is documented and alright.
