# TEMPLATE OVERVIEW & USAGE NOTES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# • TEMPLATE TYPE: COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK TEMPLATE
# • PURPOSE: Production-ready Django application with security hardening
# • DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Self-contained with multi-stage builds and security
# • COMBINATION GUIDANCE: Use standalone for complete Django applications
# • SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: Non-root user, Alpine base, health monitoring
# • BEST PRACTICES: Layer caching, dependency optimization, production defaults
# • OFFICIAL SOURCES: Django documentation and Docker security guidelines

# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# USAGE EXAMPLES & BEST PRACTICES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Example 1: Build production image
# docker build --target runtime -t my-django-app:prod .
# Example 2: Build development image
# docker build --target development -t my-django-app:dev .
# Example 3: Build with custom arguments
# docker build \
# --build-arg PYTHON_ENV=production \
# --build-arg BUILD_ID=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
# -t my-django-app:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) .
# Example 4: Run production container
# docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name django-app my-django-app:prod
# Example 5: Run development container with volume mount
# docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd):/app --name django-dev my-django-app:dev
# Best Practices:
# 1. Always use .dockerignore to exclude __pycache__, .git, etc.
# 2. Use specific Python versions (not 'latest')
# 3. Run health checks in production
# 4. Use multi-stage builds for smaller images
# 5. Set resource limits in docker-compose or Kubernetes
# Customization Notes:
# 1. Adjust Gunicorn workers based on available CPU cores
# 2. Modify exposed ports based on your application
# 3. Customize health check endpoint as needed
# 4. Add environment variables for database connections
# 5. Configure static/media file storage appropriately
