I am trying to set up a Django back-end, with a React front-end, both running inside a Docker container, using docker-compose to expose them at different ports (8000 for the Django app, 3000 for the React app. When I navigate to http://my_ip_address:3000/ the React app loads just fine, but when I navigate to http://my_ip_address:8000 I get a 400 Bad Request error from the server. Here is the code ->
#project/back-end/Dockerfile
FROM python:3.7
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
WORKDIR /nerdrich
COPY Pipfile Pipfile.lock /nerdrich/
RUN pip install pipenv && pipenv install --system
COPY . /nerdrich/
EXPOSE 8000
#project/front-end/Dockerfile
# official node.js runtime for Docker
FROM node:12
# Create and set the directory for this container
WORKDIR /app/
# Install Application dependencies
COPY package.json yarn.lock /app/
RUN yarn install --no-optional
# Copy over the rest of the project
COPY . /app/
# Set the default port for the container
EXPOSE 3000
CMD yarn start
#project/docker-compose.yml

I can provide any additional information you need, and as I said, the front-end works just fine, it is just the back-end that gives the 400 Bad Request error.

Here was the problem: Apparently using the
.env
file – even after placingprint(ALLOWED_HOSTS)
to ensure the host was found – does not actually work for some reason. I simply had to restore theALLOWED_HOSTS
settings back in thesettings.py
file.
