Trying to set up geonode on Docker. Django container is stuck on perpetual restart loop and returns below errors when I examine the logs using docker-compose logs -f django

[afabiani]

you must inherit the geonode.settings somewhere otherwise some variables won't be defined

[ndethi]

@afabiani True, I've had to define variables in settings.py e.g SITE_URL, TEMPLATES, LOCALE_PATHS

So how do I inherit geocode.settings?

[afabiani]

it all depends on how you write the settings file you are currently using.
In your case

try:
    from project_geonode.local_settings import *
#    from geonode.local_settings import *
except ImportError:
    from project_geonode.settings import *

you must include on both the project_geonode settings.py and local_settings.py the follwing line:

from geonode.settings import *
