I'm currently deploying a container-based application using docker-compose. The application has a couple of components that link to dependencies (i.e. the backend links to a mongo container).
For example (docker-compose.yml):
mongo:
container_name: backend-mongo
image: mongo
ports:
- "27017"
backend:
container_name: backend
image: backend:production
ports:
- "6002:6002"
links:
- mongo
Has anyone found an equivalent approach when using the IBM DevOps Services (IDS) Build Pipeline and IBM Containers? I can currently only find examples of deploying standalone containers. Right now my approach would then be to manually (yuck) run the mongo containers and let IDS build & deploy the other pieces.
As far as I know, docker-compose is not yet supported in Bluemix Containers so you should script manually the commands from IBM DevOps Services, for example:
cf ic run --name mysql --env MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=xxx --env MYSQL_DATABASE=xxx --publish 3306 registry.eu-gb.bluemix.net/chemi/mysql
cf ic run --name EmpleadoApp --publish 9080 --link mysql:mysql registry.eu-gb.bluemix.net/chemi/empleadoapp:latest
Although in my example I am using a MySQL as DB and a custom app as frontend I think you can see the idea.
