Architecture

Running

Development

Uses the default Django development server.

1. Rename .env.dev.example and .env.streaming.dev.example to .env.dev and .env.streaming.dev in envs directory.

2. Update the environment variables in the .env.dev and .env.streaming.dev file.

3. Build the images and run the containers:

   $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

   Test it out at http://localhost:8000. The "movies_admin" and "movies_etl" folder is mounted into the container and your code changes apply automatically.

4. On first run, after initialising the database to fill the database with data:

   $ docker exec movies_admin python utils/sqlite_to_postgres/load_data.py

5. On first run, after initialising the minio create a test bucket in the minio.

Production

Uses gunicorn + nginx.

1. Rename .env.prod.example and .env.streaming.prod.example to .env.prod and .env.streaming.prod.

2. Update the environment variables in the .env.prod and .env.streaming.prod file.

3. Build the images and run the containers:

   $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build

   Test it out at http://localhost:1337. No mounted folders. To apply changes, the image must be re-built.

4. On first run, after initialising the database to fill the database with data:

   $ docker exec movies_admin python utils/sqlite_to_postgres/load_data.py

Technologies used

• The application runs as a WSGI/ASGI server.
• To render static files, **Nginx is used.
• Virtualization is done with Docker..

Main system components

1. Server WSGI/ASGI - server running the application.
2. Nginx - proxy server which is an entry point for web application.
3. PostgreSQL - relational data storage.
4. ETL - elasticsearch.
5. FFmpeg - FFmpeg.
6. Airflow ETL - airflow.

Project requirements

1. The application must be run via WSGI/ASGI.
2. All system components are hosted in Docker.
3. Static files are served by Nginx.

Recommendations for the project

1. To work with WSGI/ASGI server the database uses a special user.
2. Use docker compose to communicate between containers.
