SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers waste time remembering Docker Compose commands, container names, and platform-specific quirks when managing a multi-service local development stack. This Skill provides the exact commands and known fixes for operating the postgres, redis, Django backend, rqworker, and Next.js frontend containers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stack Lifecycle Management: Start, stop, rebuild, and fully reset the Docker Compose stack with or without volume destruction. - Container Operations: Check logs, open Django shells, run migrations, and load fixtures inside the backend container. - Troubleshooting Knowledge: Built-in fixes for Node IPv4/IPv6 mismatches, shell line-ending issues, and loaddata failures with auto_now_add fields. - Use Case: After pulling new code, ask to rebuild the stack and run migrations, and the correct docker compose and manage.py commands execute with the proper Windows path-conversion prefix. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start the Docker development stack in the background and show the backend logs.

Frequently Asked Questions about docker-dev-stack

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a Docker Compose development stack in the background?▼

Run docker compose up -d from the directory containing docker-compose.yml to start all services detached. Use docker compose up --build instead when code changes require rebuilding the images.

How do I run Django management commands inside a Docker container?▼

Use docker exec with the backend container name followed by python manage.py and the command, such as migrate or shell. On Windows Git Bash, prefix the command with MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 so paths like /app/ are not mangled.

Why does docker exec fail with path errors on Windows Git Bash?▼

Git Bash automatically converts Unix-style paths like /app/ into Windows paths, breaking commands inside containers. Setting MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 before docker exec disables this path conversion.

Why does loaddata fail with null created_at errors in Django?▼

The loaddata command uses raw=True, which bypasses auto_now and auto_now_add field population, causing null constraint violations. Use ORM-based management commands instead of fixtures for models with those fields.

Why does my Node.js container get ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1 errors?▼

Node 18 resolves localhost to IPv6 first, causing connection refusals when services listen on IPv4. Set NODE_OPTIONS=--dns-result-order=ipv4first in docker-compose.yml to force IPv4 resolution.

How do I fully reset a Docker Compose stack including database data?▼

Run docker compose down -v to stop containers and delete named volumes, wiping the postgres database. Use plain docker compose down to keep volumes and preserve data between restarts.
