Congrats to the Django team!
If anyone is curious, I've been maintaining a Docker Compose based Django + Celery + Postgres + Redis + esbuild + Tailwind starter app for years and just updated it for Django 6.0 at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example.
The only thing I haven't done is pre-configure the new CSP settings because I want to let that marinate a bit before putting it in as a default.

uv works great in a container, you can tell it to skip creating a venv and use the system's version of Python.
Both of my Docker Compose start app examples for https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example and https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example use uv.
The biggest win is speed. Dependencies get installed ~10x faster than with pip, at least on my machine.

To link log messages with requests we need a correlation ID. I highly recommend using the asgi-correlation-id package for this purpose.

8mb.local
a free local self hosted video compressor webui designed for performance and ease of use. inspired by 8mb.video
I also look for a sophisticated self hosted, open source transcoding solution as a web app, but in the mean time, the complete opposite: no bells and whistles, no config, no control except size: https://github.com/JMS1717/8mb.local
