Initialize containerized Django app template with support for Heroku, ES6, and the new docker-entrypoint.sh approach to running migrations.
Connects #62, #56, #22
Notes
With two templates in the docker/templates repo, I was finding it difficult to maintain the existing Cookiecutter setup using plain Docker without Docker Compose. Because of this, I went ahead and refactored the templates repo to use a Compose environment. One downside of this is that users will now have to generate a Python (non-Django) repo from the docker/templates repo, instead of directly in the repo that needs the new configs. I think this is clearer and easier anyway, but it's a major interface change, so I'm curious to hear thoughts.
Testing Instructions
Follow the new Django instructions in the Docker templates README to create a fresh Django app
All of the default cookiecutter variables should work fine
Make sure that you can docker-compose build and docker-compose up and see your new app in the browser
Make sure the migrations run properly with docker-entrypoint.sh
Check the console in the browser to confirm that you see Hello world messages indicating ES6 compilation worked
If you're feeling invested, you can test the new Heroku deployment docs and make sure that the template works; however this is a lot of extra steps and I'll be doing it as part of the demo anyway, so if you don't feel like it I think that's fine too
