sample-django-docker VS django-instant

If you are interested in using Docker for your setup, I wrote this example: https://github.com/rowdybeaver/sample-django-docker

Here is a sample Dockerized Django setup.

Celery is the usual approach. Here's a sample Django Docker project that shows how I do it.

Here's a sample Docker/Django app that I've shared before.

Here is a sample dockerized django app that you can build on. It includes celery, as well.

Here's another sample you may find some tidbits in.

I created a sample dockerized django application that shows several techniques. Maybe it will provide some ideas.

A sample that shows several different concepts in the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files.

Here's an example that demonstrates several techniques and everything but Traefik (I can supply that if needed). Let me know if there are questions.

Take a look at putting your app in Docker. Here's an example that might help: https://github.com/rowdybeaver/sample-django-docker

I've just implemented django-instant and it's super easy to setup and get it working. Much simplier than django-channels.

Django-instant: provides a very simple way to push events to channels. Doesn't require django-channels, simply fire up a dockerized 'centrifugo' proxy. Downside is perhaps this package hasn't been updated recently for the latest v4 of centrifugo.

I recently discovered Alpinejs and updated the django-instant (websockets) and django-mqueue (events) packages to provide frontend templates usable out of the box without npm or build step.

django-instant may help

You could run a Centrifugo websockets server on Heroku and manage the websockets with django-instant without having to change your actual hosting
