How do I manage environment variables in a Django Docker setup?

You can manage environment variables in a Django Docker setup by using a .env file and the python-decouple package.

Can you show me how to set up the .env file?

Sure! Create a .env file in your project root and add your variables like this:

DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@db:5432/dbname

Make sure to load these variables in your Django settings.

How do I access these variables in my Django settings?

You can access them using os.environ or with config from python-decouple. For example:

import os

DEBUG = os.environ.get('DEBUG')
SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')
