how to initial setup consul with defined key/value - docker

Question

I have setup docker config using docker compose.
this is part of docker compose file
version: '3'
networks:
pm:
services:
consul:
container_name: consul
image: consul:latest
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 8300:8300
- 8301:8301
- 8302:8302
- 8400:8400
- 8500:8500
- 8600:8600
environment:
CONSUL_LOCAL_CONFIG: >-
{
"bootstrap": true,
"server": true,
"node_name": "consul1",
"bind_addr": "0.0.0.0",
"client_addr": "0.0.0.0",
"bootstrap_expect": 1,
"ui": true,
"addresses" : {
"http" : "0.0.0.0"
},
"ports": {
"http": 8500
},
"log_level": "DEBUG",
"connect" : {
"enabled" : true
}
}
volumes:
- ./data:/consul/data
command: agent -server -bind 0.0.0.0 -client 0.0.0.0 -bootstrap-expect=1
Then set the key value via browser
I would like to add the key/value as initial at new environment, so that additional setup steps at browser could be avoided.
this is the configuration i export by using consul kv command:
# consul kv export config/
[
{
"key": "config/",
"flags": 0,
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "config/drug2/",
"flags": 0,
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "config/drug2/data",
"flags": 0,
"value": "e30="
}
]

To my knowledge Docker Compose does not have a way to run a custom command/script after the containers have started.
As a workaround you could write a shell script which executes docker-compose up and then either runs consul kv import or a curl command against Consul's Transaction API to add the data you're trying to load.
