Following a tutorial: cannot run Docker container of Django

I am following this tutorial to create Django API and run it on docker. The API runs well without docker, however I have issues with running it on docker.

The tutorial says that Dockerfile should be created:

# Dockerfile

# FROM directive instructing base image to build upon
FROM python:2-onbuild

# COPY startup script into known file location in container
COPY start.sh /start.sh

# EXPOSE port 8000 to allow communication to/from server
EXPOSE 8000

# CMD specifcies the command to execute to start the server running.
CMD ["/start.sh"]
# done!

Then a docker container should be built:

docker build -t davidsale/dockerizing-python-django-app .

Until now everything is ok. But the last command fails:

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 davidsale/djangoapp1

Error:

Just to mention that I have the following organisation of folders:

helloworld
  - helloworld
       - __init__.py
       - wsgi.py
       - settings.py
       - urls.py
       - views.py
  - dbsqlite3
  - manage.py
Dockerfile
requirements.txt
start.sh

You need to add your project directory to your docker image. The tutorial you are following had a mistake in dockerfile content and hadn't any WORKDIR variable in it:

# Dockerfile

# FROM directive instructing base image to build upon
FROM python:2-onbuild

# COPY startup script into known file location in container
COPY start.sh /start.sh

# Sets workdir
WORKDIR helloworld


# EXPOSE port 8000 to allow communication to/from server
EXPOSE 8000


# CMD specifcies the command to execute to start the server running.
CMD ["/start.sh"]
# done!
