chamber VS django-base-site

Chamber takes an opinionated view on AWS Parameter store as compared to ssmsh

Building on this I’ve found https://github.com/segmentio/chamber to be super useful

For secrets, the PaaS platform (Github Actions, Fly.io, etc.) I usually use has a method that works with environment variables. If I need something custom on AWS, then I use Chamber backed by AWS KMS.

We use Chamber (https://github.com/segmentio/chamber) to do this for us. Bring it into your image and use the environment variables as necessary. Some applications support using environment variables natively, you might need to add a script to write them into your config files.

You can take a look at some code I wrote a while back to do this if you want examples https://github.com/segmentio/chamber/blob/master/store/ssmstore.go .

We use AWS Parameter Store and segmentio/chamber.

https://github.com/segmentio/chamber is nice with parameter store, ive used it in the past.

Use Chamber.

For interacting with SSM, I would recommend using https://github.com/segmentio/chamber. You could add something to your user-data script that uses chamber to load a config file (chamber export is one way to do it) from SSM on startup. You could also use Systems Manager to enable you to do a "hot reload" of sorts by sending a command to your server to run the chamber command and restart your application.

I would love any helpful suggestions or feedback. You can find my PR can here: https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site/pull/188

I would welcome anyone with experience using VS Code for Django development with Docker Compose. I'm getting close to merging this PR for the Django Base Site that adds support for VS Code.

The easiest way is to use my starter project or look to see how I do it! 🙂 https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site

Update: I've got everything working by using Dev Containers. I would love it if people would have a look at the PR and provide feedback. It would be even better if you wanted to try it out!

Make one! 🙂 In my Django base site project I use Vite, which is really easy to adapt to either React or Vue. https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site

That specific error doesn't look familiar to me, maybe check if Docker is out of space like someone else suggested. Also, please feel free to use my template and starter project (https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site) which I keep up to date.

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback. I recently pushed up the changes based on everyone's feedback. https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site

I recently tried fly.io and added directions to my https://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site on how to use it. Fly.io has a free plan as well.
