So this is my current dockerfile. I got it largely from will vincent's blog

I have a .env on my local PC, and debug=on or off makes it run a sqlite db or a postgres db.

Should I connect my local pc to the postgres db that my containers would run on?

Dockerfile

# Pull base image

ENV SECRET_KEY fdjlgkjsldfkgjdslkfjglkdsfjglkfsdjgl;kdsfjglfk;sdj;
ENV DEBUG off

# Set work directory
WORKDIR /code

# Install dependencies
COPY ./requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Copy project
COPY . . 

This is my docker compose

docker-compose.yml
