Running Cloudant as docker container with docker compose - docker

Question

I am trying to use this image https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/cloudant-developer/ with docker compose, when I use the original instructions it works, however when I translate it to docker compose format it doesn't work properly, I see the dashboard page but it is empty and seems broken.
The original run command:
docker run \
--privileged \
--detach \
--volume cloudant:/srv \
--name cloudant-developer \
--publish 8080:80 \
--hostname cloudant.dev \
ibmcom/cloudant-developer
The compose file I created:
version: '3'
services:
cloudant:
image: ibmcom/cloudant-developer:latest
container_name: cloudant-developer
hostname: cloudant.dev
ports:
- "8080:80"
expose:
- "80"
volumes:
- cloudant:/srv
privileged: true
volumes:
cloudant:
Thanks for helping.
P.S - I do executed the commands for license agreement manually

Answer 1

Took me a while to figure this out. Turns out the cloudant docker container is tied to the default docker network subnet. Specifically, I found that haproxy was mapped to redirect to 172.17.0.2:5984 and was failing because by default docker compose creates a new network in a different ip range. There may be other issues related to this. Ultimately I found that you could run docker compose on the default docker network with the following config:
network_mode: bridge
So, your docker-compose.yml would look like this:
version: '3'
services:
cloudant:
image: ibmcom/cloudant-developer:latest
container_name: cloudant-developer
hostname: cloudant.dev
ports:
- "8080:80"
expose:
- "80"
volumes:
- cloudant:/srv
privileged: true
network_mode: bridge
volumes:
cloudant:
