Some Important Points

• For the manually created directory for the Django code it is mandatory to palce the __init__.py file to make the directory a python package. In our case src is manually create directory so place __init__.py in it.
• There shouldn't immediate comments in the docker-compose tags (e.g comments after the command tag in the docker-compose.yml, otherwise docker-compose up will raise unknow issue).
