Load Django Settings Directly from Environmental Variables

• modify django configuration without modifying source code
• prevent hard-coding of Django settings
• works great with Docker

pip install djenv

pipenv install djenv

# inside settings.py# import settings from environmentfromdjenv.settingsimport*

Prepend Settings withDJANGO_ to import them. For example:

DJANGO_DEBUG=False python3 manage.py runserver

Will set DEBUG=False in the settings.py

You can also replace nested settings like DATABASES by setting a JSON

DJANGO_DATABASES='{ "default": { "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.sqlite3", "NAME": "db.sqlite3" } }'  python3 manage.py runserver
