Refactoring the existing codebase

A lot of the current codebase was written when I was just learning django. I realize that it can definitely be cleaner. Although it, Not a priority but we should look forward to cleaning it up. What is a priority, however, Is making the current docker configs work which I have done locally. Would push as soon as I am done.

The issue names the existing Django codebase and Docker configurations but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying which cleanup tasks are intended and inspecting the current Docker setup; done should mean an agreed refactoring scope and working Docker configurations.
