REMINDER: Don't forget to override settings.py in your docker config, otherwise it won't use your custom settings.py file!

Docker Compose

- /path/to/custom/settings.py:/app/settings.py:ro

Docker Create

-v /path/to/custom/settings.py:/app/settings.py:ro \

REMINDER: Don't forget to redirect the "logs" location in your docker config, otherwise the logs won't be kept outside the container!

Docker Compose

- /path/to/logs/storage/location:/app/logs

Docker Create

-v /path/to/logs/storage/location:/app/logs \
