docker-compose

Docker Compose

Fast, isolated development environments using Docker.

Define your app's environment with Docker so it can be reproduced anywhere:

FROM python:2.7
ADD . /code
WORKDIR /code
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD python app.py

Define the services that make up your app so they can be run together in an isolated environment:

web:
  build: .
  links:
   - db
  ports:
   - "8000:8000"
   - "49100:22"
db:
  image: postgres

(No more installing Postgres on your laptop!)

Then type docker-compose up, and Compose will start and run your entire app.

There are commands to:

• start, stop and rebuild services
• view the status of running services
• tail running services' log output
• run a one-off command on a service
