Refactors config validation of a service to use a ServiceConfig data object. Instead of passing around a bunch of related scalars, we can use the ServiceConfig object as a parameter to most of the service validation functions. This allows for a fix to the config schema, where the name is a field in the schema, but not actually in the configuration. My passing the name around as part of the ServiceConfig object, we don't need to add it to the config options. Fixes #2299 validate_against_service_schema() is moved from a conditional branch in ServiceExtendsResolver() to happen as one of the last steps after all configuration is merged. This schema only contains constraints which only need to be true at the very end of merging. Signed-off-by: Daniel Nephin <dnephin@docker.com>
Docker Compose
Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services. Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose see the list of features.
Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as CI workflows. You can learn more about each case in Common Use Cases.
Using Compose is basically a three-step process.
- Define your app's environment with a
Dockerfileso it can be reproduced anywhere. - Define the services that make up your app in
docker-compose.ymlso they can be run together in an isolated environment: - Lastly, run
docker-compose upand Compose will start and run your entire app.
A docker-compose.yml looks like this:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
links:
- redis
redis:
image: redis
For more information about the Compose file, see the Compose file reference
Compose has commands for managing the whole lifecycle of your application:
- Start, stop and rebuild services
- View the status of running services
- Stream the log output of running services
- Run a one-off command on a service
Installation and documentation
- Full documentation is available on Docker's website.
