Please do docker-compose about django-todo

@inakhai What would be the advantage? Django has re-usable apps and python has virtualenv so we don't need overly complicated systems like Docker. I didn't even realize re-usable apps could be Dockerized. Can you describe the use case?

@inakhai There are a few cases where docker can be helpful but its more appropriate for larger scaleable application. The djanto-todo is generally more thought of as a small application that while it is growing in popularity its not a larger scaling project.

Why do you feel it is appropriate or advantageous?

I think we're miscommunicating. I understand why would one would Dockerize an entire Django project - so that it can be deployed identically on any server or operating system. One generally chooses between virtualenvs and Docker. What I don't understand is why anyone would Dockerize something like Django-todo, which is essentially a library, not a web application.

Are there examples of other Django reusable apps that are Dockerized? I can't even imagine how that would be used!

[datatalking]

We are looking at using django todo as a webapp and hosting it as a private vpc on aws so having a docker setup would help for redundancy. Its something I've had to think about, still in process but we are looking into a web app for multi location users.

@datatalking Maybe what you are looking for is a dockerfied version of GTD, which is a reference example of how to make a Django app that includes Django-todo? I can see how it would make sense to Dockerize GTD which is a web application. I don't understand how it makes sense to Dockerize this Django-todo library, which is NOT a web application.

[datatalking]

@shacker dockerized web app is what i mean, I've been putting a few apps in Docker and enjoying the process. Do you know of others that have already done this or would this be something feasible we could look at adding?

[shacker]

@datatalking Sure, you can open a parallel ticket on the GTD project - that is a web app. But it doesn't make any sense in this repo. However, if you do open a ticket over there, will you be willing to do the work? I don't have the free time or the Docker expertise.

Closing wrt my comment above - feel free to open a PR in the GTD repo where something like this belongs.
