I have two Rails 6 application and I am trying to deploy in aws ec2 instance with different port 8080 and 8081 but when I trying to run docker-compose up -d it start one rails application successfully and if I tries to run docker-compose up -d for second application, It make first application down and make another application up on particular Port
Below is my docker configuration for two applications.

This Configuration works very well in local machine. It start both application in local on different port but it has some issue on aws ec2. I am not sure is any thing wrong in configuration?
Compose has the notion of a project name. If you add or delete containers from a docker-compose.yml file, it looks for existing containers that are labeled with the project name to figure out what needs to change. The project name is also included in the Docker names of containers, networks, and volumes.
You can configure the project name with the COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME environment variable or the docker-compose -p option. If you don't configure it, it defaults to the base name of the current directory.
You clarify in a comment that the two docker-compose.yml files are in directories app1/backend and app2/backend. Since the base name of those directories are both backend, they have the same project name; so if you run docker-compose up in the app2/backend directory, it finds the existing containers for the backend project, sees they don't match what's in the docker-compose.yml file, and deletes them (even though you as the operator think they belong to the other project).
There are a couple of ways to get around this:
Rename one or the other directory; maybe move the docker-compose.yml files up to the top-level app1 and app2 directories.
In one or both directories, create a .env file that sets COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=app1. (Note that file is checked in the current directory, not necessarily the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file.)
Set and change an environment variable export COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=app1.
Consistently use an option docker-compose -p app1 ... with all Compose commands.

Hello I want to publish the "index.php" from the local folder "C:\html\index.php" with docker-compose.yml
in localhost I get the typical apache html "It works". But I do not get the content of my local folder. What I am doing wrong?
here is my docker-compose file:
version: "3"
services:

Doesn't works.
I want to have a web development docker environment where I edit in the folder C:\html\index_hello.html in my computer and I will see the changes in the browser localhost:8080, the changes I did. My expectation is that I write in the browser http://localhost:8080/index_hello.html. Did I something wrong? shall I edit other files e.g. apache.conf?
I would suggest avoiding hardcoding directories and using relative directories.
If you place your docker-compose into your C:/html folder and then change you volume to read:
volumes:
- .:/var/www/html
if you run the following:
cd C:/html
docker-compose up -d
you are telling docker-compose to use . meaning the current directory.
if you put the docker-compose.yml in the C:/ directory you can run change the volume to:
volumes:
- ./html:/var/www/html
then the docker compose command should remain the same.
Hello I have multiple projects that have there own dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml files. I am not too familiar on how I would setup the networking between these projects. So they could share the same databases and the project would be able to talk to on another. Does anyone have suggests?
Right now, In one of the projects I am just pulling in all the dockerfile into a docker-compose.yml and setting-up all the services I need from all the other projects in this yml file. I do not think this is ideal and there is a high level a coupling between the services.

The trick is to use an External Docker Network.
Set up the network and the Containers can talk to each other by their Service Names.
Setup the the network on the Host
docker network create my-net
First compose file
version: '3.9'
services:
mymongo:
image: mongo:latest
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: mongo
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: mymongo
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
volumes:
- ./database:/data/db
ports:
- "27017:27017"
networks:
default:
external: true
name: my-net
Second compose file
version: '3.9'
services:
ui:
build:
context: ./build
dockerfile: Dockerfile_ui
image: ui
restart: "no"
container_name: ui
ports:
- "8005:3000"
command: ["npm", "start"]
networks:
default:
external: true
name: my-net
You can do this without any special Compose setup, if:
each project is self-contained (they do not share databases)
the service locations are configurable via environment variables
you don't mind communicating via the host
If you're thinking about scaling up this project at all, this approach can look attractive. It will work even if you're running each Compose file on a different host, and it translates well into clustered environments like Kubernetes.
Go ahead and break up your Compose file into several independent ones:
# rails/docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
db:
image: mysql/mysql-server
app:
build: .
ports: ['4000:4000']
depends_on: [db]
# go/docker-compose.yml
services:
mongo:
image: mongo
service:
build: .
ports: ['8080:8080']
depends_on: [mongo]
environment:
- RAILS_APP_URL
The very last line here passes the RAILS_APP_URL environment variable from the host environment into the container.
You can start the Rails application independently:
docker-compose -f ./rails/docker-compose.yml up -d
You need to find some hostname where the container can call back to the host. On MacOS and Windows hosts, Docker provides a special hostname host.docker.internal for this. You can then connect the client container to the published port of its server:
export RAILS_APP_URL=http://host.docker.internal:4000
docker-compose -f ./go/docker-compose.yml up
If you're doing development, you can run the service you're working on locally, and its dependencies in containers, and point the environment variable at the container
go build -o ./server ./cmd/server
export RAILS_APP_URL=http://localhost:4000
./server
If you want to run this setup on multiple hosts but without using a dedicated cluster manager like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes, set the environment variable to point at the DNS name of the host running the service. If you did want to translate this to Kubernetes, a Helm "chart" would be analogous, containing the Deployment, Service, etc. and dependencies for a single component, and you could configure the other service's URL through Helm values.
I have a dockerimage on a gitlab registry.
when I (after login on a target machine)
docker run -d -p 8081:8080/tcp gitlab.somedomain.com:5050/root/app
the laravel app is available and running and reachable. Things like php artisan config:clear are working. when I enter the container everything looks fine.
But I don't have any services running. So I had the idea to create a yml file to docker-compose run to set things up in docker-compose-gitlab.yml
version: '3'
services:
mysql:
image: mysql:5.7
container_name: my-mysql
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=***
- MYSQL_DATABASE=dbname
- MYSQL_USER=username
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=***
volumes:
- ./data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
ports:
- "3307:3306"
application:
image: gitlab.somedomain.com:5050/root/app:latest
build:
context: .
dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
container_name: my-app
ports:
- "8081:8080"
volumes:
- .:/application
env_file: .env.docker
working_dir: /application
depends_on:
- mysql
links:
- mysql
calling docker-compose --verbose -f docker-compose-gitlab.yml up shows me that the mysql service is created and working, the app seems also be creeated but then fails ... exiting with code 0 - no further message.
If I add commands in my yml like php artisan config:clear the error gets even unclearer for me: it says it cannot find artisan and it seems as if the command is executed outside the container ... exiting with code 1. (artisan is a helper and executed via php)
When I call the docker-compose with -d and then do docker ps I can only see mysql running but not the app.
When I use both strategies, the problem is, the two container do not share a common network and can so not work together.
What did I miss? Is this the wrong strategy?
The problem is, that I let a volume directive left over which overwrites my entier application with an empty directory.
You can just leave that out.

## volumes:
## - .:/application ## this would overwrite the app

You can debug the network of the containers listing the networks with docker network ls
then when the list is shown inspect the compose network with docker inspect <ComposeNetworkID>
Once you are shure that your services are not in the same network, remove your containers and recreate it again with docker-compose -f docker-compose-gitlab.yml up
If you notice they are in the same network try to use the container name instead localhost to reach each other, if it is the case.
I'm trying to containerize a demo nodejs + reactjs + postgresql application and the directory structure looks something like this:
demo:
-client
-.env
- Dockerfile.client
- package.json
-server
- .env
- Dockerfile.server
- package.json
.env
docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
client:
container_name: ${APP_NAME}_fe
build:
dockerfile: ./client/Dockerfile.client
environment:
CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING: "true"
image: ${APP_NAME}_img_fe
volumes:
- ./client:/app
- /app/node_modules
ports:
- 3000:3000
server:
container_name: ${APP_NAME}_be
build:
# context: .
dockerfile: ./server/Dockerfile.server
image: ${APP_NAME}_img_be
volumes:
- ./server:/app
- /app/node_modules
ports:
- 5000:5000
db:
container_name: ${APP_NAME}_db
image: postgres
build:
# context: .
dockerfile: ./server/Dockerfile.db
env_file: ./server/.env
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
POSTGRES_DB: ${APP_NAME}
volumes:
- db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
ports:
- 5432:5432
volumes:
db-data:
name: ${APP_NAME}_db
I'm trying to keep all the sensitive data(like passwords and keys), api urls or ports inside .env files so i have all the infos in just one place, something like this:
.env from server
PORT=5000
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
DB_USER=postgres
DB_NAME=demo
.env on root level
APP_NAME=demo
The problem is for the db service (postgres container) the credentials are not visible at the creation time, so i need to hardcode them like:
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: demo
Is there a way to fetch these values from inside the .env files ?
LE: I think one way is to keep only one .env at the root of the application with:
-db password
-db user
-port(both server and client)
-api url
In this case i need to acces .env from client and server folder.
Not sure this is a common practice or not.
Thank you.
You don't need to access the .env file from your applications. You can substitute variables in the docker-compose.yml parsing context by simply running the docker-compose up in the right folder.
The issue that you're running through is probably because you have multiple .env files distributed across your project, with different values.
From the documentation:
If you have multiple environment variables, you can substitute them by providing a path to your environment variables file. By default, the docker-compose command will look for a file named .env in the directory you run the command. By passing the file as an argument, you can store it anywhere and name it appropriately, for example, .env.ci, .env.dev, .env.prod. Passing the file path is done using the --env-file option:
That means that not only it's a good practice to keep .env files but also that you probably should keep only one .env file and run the docker-compose up command from the folder that keeps that file (usually the project root folder).
it seems to me that at your environment, '-' this symbol is missing. So it would be
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
- POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
- POSTGRES_DB: ${APP_NAME}
and keep docker-compose.yaml and .env file under the same directory and try
docker-compose up -d
I always use -d to start as background job, daemon thread.
Also you can see the list of environment variables of Postgres at this link:
https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres
I am new to docker and developing a project using docker compose. From the documentation I have learned that I should be using data only containers to keep data persistant but I am unable to do so using docker-compose.
Whenever I do docker-compose down it removes the the data from db but by doing docker-compose stop the data is not removed. May be this is because that I am not creating named data volume and docker-compose down hardly removes all the containers. So I tried naming the container but it threw me errors.
Please have a look at my yml file:
version: '2'
services:
data_container:
build: ./data
#volumes:
# - dataVolume:/data
db:
build: ./db
ports:
- "5445:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_DB=postgres
# - PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
volumes_from:
# - container:db_bus
- data_container
geoserver:
build: ./geoserver
depends_on:
- db
ports:
- "8004:8080"
volumes:
- ./geoserver/data:/opt/geoserverdata_dir
web:
build: ./web
volumes:
- ./web:/code
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
- db
command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
nginx:
build: ./nginx
ports:
- "83:80"
depends_on:
- web
The Docker file for the data_container is:
FROM stackbrew/busybox:latest
MAINTAINER Tom Offermann <tom#offermann.us>
# Create data directory
RUN mkdir /data
# Create /data volume
VOLUME /data
I tried this but by doing docker-compose down, the data is lost. I tried naming the data_container as you can see the commented line, it threw me this error:
ERROR: Named volume "dataVolume:/data:rw" is used in service "data_container" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.
So right now what I am doing is I created a stand alone data only named container and put that in the volumes_from value of the db. It worked fine and didn't remove any data even after doing docker-compose down.
My queries:
What is the best approach to make containers that can store database's data using the docker-compose and to use them properly ?
My conscious is not agreeing with me on approach that I have opted, the one by creating a stand alone data container. Any thoughts?
docker-compose down
does the following
Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images
created by up
So the behaviour you are experiencing is expected.
Use docker-compose stop to shutdown containers created with the docker-compose file but not remove their volumes.
Secondly you don't need the data-container pattern in version 2 of docker compose. So remove that and just use
db:
...
volumes:
- /var/lib/postgresql/data
docker-compose down stops containers but also removes them (with everything: networks, ...).
Use docker-compose stop instead.
I think the best approach to make containers that can store database's data with docker-compose is to use named volumes:
version: '2'
services:
db: #https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/
image: mysql
volumes:
- "wp-db:/var/lib/mysql:rw"
env_file:
- "./conf/db/mysql.env"
volumes:
wp-db: {}
Here, it will create a named volume called "wp-db" (if it doesn't exist) and mount it in /var/lib/mysql (in read-write mode, the default). This is where the database stores its data (for the mysql image).
If the named volume already exists, it will be used without creating it.
When starting, the mysql image look if there are databases in /var/lib/mysql (your volume) in order to use them.
You can have more information with the docker-compose file reference here:
https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#/volumes-volume-driver
To store database data make sure your docker-compose.yml will look like
if you want to use Dockerfile
version: '3.1'
services:
php:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
ports:
- 80:80
volumes:
- ./src:/var/www/html/
db:
image: mysql
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
volumes:
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
mysql-data:
your docker-compose.yml will looks like
if you want to use your image instead of Dockerfile
version: '3.1'
services:
php:
image: php:7.4-apache
ports:
- 80:80
volumes:
- ./src:/var/www/html/
db:
image: mysql
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
volumes:
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
if you want to store or preserve data of mysql then
must remember to add two lines in your docker-compose.yml
volumes:
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
and
volumes:
mysql-data:
after that use this command
docker-compose up -d
now your data will persistent and will not be deleted even after using this command
docker-compose down
extra:- but if you want to delete all data then you will use
docker-compose down -v
to verify or check database data list by using this command
docker volume ls
