docker-composeA.yml
mysql:
image: mysql
environment:
- XXX=XXX
gogs:
image: gogs/gogs
links:
- mysql:mysql # ok
docker-composeB.yml
tomcat:
image: javaweb:8
links:
- mysql:mysql // wrong, can not find mysql defination
Now I want to link mysql container which defined in docker-composeA.yml, but when I run docker-compose up with docker-composeB.yml, it said 'mysql is undefined'. So How could I link container cross docker-compose.yml files.
links and depends_on both require a reference to a service defined in the same Docker Compose file. You need external_links.

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.

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 have compose file as follows;
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "6379:6379"
php:
build: .
image: php:fpm
volumes:
- ./code:/var/www/html
links:
- redis:redis
networks:
- code-network
I'm entering into php container with the following command.
docker exec -it php_id /bin/bash
but I can't run "redis-cli" command in this container. What do I need to do to run it.
I added "links" parameter to compose file but it didn't.
You are putting the php-fpm container in a network of its own. Here is a fixed compose file:
version: "3"
services:
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "6379:6379"
php:
build: .
image: php:fpm
volumes:
- ./code:/var/www/html
networks:
- code-network
- default
networks:
code-network:
See this for more info on compose networking.
About the redis-cli issue: You'd need to add the appropriate repository on the php-fpm container and then install it. As you are using the php:fpm image, you propably want to use redis with some php-application, therefore you don't need debians redis-cli package, but rather the php-extension.
See this post for more info.
I have a Docker container that runs a simple web application. That container is linked to two other containers by Docker Compose with the following docker-compose.yml file:
version: '2'
services:
mongo_service:
image: mongo
command: mongod
ports:
- '27017:27017'
tomcat_service:
image: 'bitnami/tomcat:latest'
ports:
- '8080:8080'
web:
# gain access to linked containers
links:
- mongo_service
- tomcat_service
# explicitly declare service dependencies
depends_on:
- mongo_service
- tomcat_service
# set environment variables
environment:
PYTHONUNBUFFERED: 'true'
# use the image from the Dockerfile in the cwd
build: .
ports:
- '8000:8000'
Once the web container starts, I want to write some content to /bitnami/tomcat/data/ on the tomcat_service container. I tried just writing to that disk location from within the web container but am getting an exception:
No such file or directory: '/bitnami/tomcat/data/'
Does anyone know what I can do to be able to write to the tomcat_service container from the web container? I'd be very grateful for any advice others can offer on this question!
you have to use docker volumes if you want one service to write to other service. If web writes to someFolderName the same file will exist in the tomcat_service.
version: '2'
services:
tomcat_service:
image: 'bitnami/tomcat:latest'
volumes:
- my_shared_data:/bitnami/tomcat/data/
web:
volumes:
- my_shared_data:/someFolderName
volumes:
my_shared_data:
Data in volumes persist and they will be available even next time you re-create docker containers. You should always use docker volumes when writing some data in docker containers.
I'm trying to share code from host to php and nginx containers. Here is my docker-compose.yml:
version: "3"
services:
php:
image: php:fpm
container_name: php
ports:
- 9000:9000
volumes:
- php_data:/var/www/html/
# configs
- ./php/config:/usr/local/etc/php
nginx:
image: nginx
ports:
- 80:80
volumes:
- php_data:/var/www/html
# logs
- ./nginx/logs:/var/log/nginx
# configs
- ./nginx/config/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
- ./nginx/config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
volumes:
php_data:
./code
The error when running docker-compose up is:
ERROR: In file './docker-compose.yml', volume 'php_data' must be a
mapping not a string.
How do I make make docker-compose know, that I need ./code shared with both nginx and php containers?
Docker saying it needs a mapping, so you need to set something like ./code:{map} in your volume
I think you have 2 options here. Since you share the code map to /var/www/html on both containers.
Option 1
Set the /var/www/html map in your volume:
volumes:
php_data:
./code:/var/www/html
then change /var/www/html to / in your containers.
Option 2
volumes:
php_data:
./code:/
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
