How to build and upload docker-compose file inside jenkins pipeline

Question

I need to build a docker image using docker-compose.yaml file and then I need to push it on dockerhub. I used following command to build Dockerfile and push it to dockerhub with jenkins docker plugin.

stage('Building image and Push') {
      steps{
        script {
          customImage = docker.build("my-image:${env.BUILD_ID}")
          customImage.push()
        }
      }
    }

Is there a similar method to write this kind of command to build and push docker-compose file?

PS: I heard about about a plugin called Docker compose build step. Can I do same as above with this plugin?

Answer 1

This does not seem supported in a scripted pipeline.

Using purely a declarative pipeline on an agent based on the docker-compose image (so with docker-compose preinstalled), I suppose you can shell script those commands directly:

stage('Build Docker Image') {  
    steps{                     
    sh 'docker-compose build'     
    echo 'Docker-compose-build Build Image Completed'                
    }           
}

And then login to DockerHub and push, as described in "Simple Jenkins Declarative Pipeline to Push Docker Image To Docker Hub"

stage('Login to Docker Hub') {          
    steps{                          
    sh 'echo $DOCKERHUB_CREDENTIALS_PSW | sudo docker login -u $DOCKERHUB_CREDENTIALS_USR --password-stdin'                     
    echo 'Login Completed'      
    }           
}

stage('Push Image to Docker Hub') {         
    steps{                            
 sh 'sudo docker push <dockerhubusername>/<dockerhubreponame>:$BUILD_NUMBER'           
echo 'Push Image Completed'       
    }            
}

A manual approach, since an "agent docker-compose" is not directly available (you have docker agent docker/dockerfile/kubernetes, but no docker-compose option)
