Question
Try to run python manage.py in a Dokku/Docker Container
Hello,
I have a problem with Dokku and Django.
I created a DigitalOcean Dokku Droplet and pushed my Django App. The Application works fine, but there is a problem if I try to run a Django Command.
dokku run APP 'python manage.py migrate' (or collectstatic, createsuperuser - it doesn’t matter)
Every time I get this error:
/exec: row 10: python manage.py migrate: command not found
I have no idea why
Installed Plugins: 00_dokku-standard apps backup build-env checks common config docker-options dokku-apt dokku-supervisord domains git nginx-vhosts persistent-storage ps shell
Any ideas?
Thanks and Greetings Jonas

The best way to do this is to specify a specific version in yourrequirements.txtfile. E.g:You’ll also want to make sure that your project structure is correct. As Dokku uses a lot of best practices from Heroku, the easiest way to do that might be to use Heroku’s Django Starter Template for a new projects.
You can start a new Django project using that template, by running:
