Hopefully you have been following my Docker exploits allowing me to share as I go along. Recently I posted a part two on my Microservices PoC describing a simple calculator. The solution currently instructs to you to execute four (4) docker build commands to create the individual containers for the calculator function. When I did this, I felt there had to be a simpler way. To my delight, docker-compose was the answer. In order to use Docker Compose on my Ubuntu system, I needed to download and install it. To keep it simple, I’ll include the steps here:

Install Docker Compose

Execute the following at your command prompt to install the most current version at the time of this post:

dbryant@asus: sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.15.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

dbryant@asus: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

dbryant@asus: docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.15.0, build e12f3b9

With docker-compose installed, we can now use the docker-compose.yml file to combine several steps into one. In this case the four docker build commands along with the subsequent docker run commands will be handled with one docker-compose.yml file.

Create docker-compose.yml file

In your favorite editor, vi perhaps, create the docker-compose.yml file in the directory with your current “Dockerfile” files.

dbryant@asus: ls
add2.js     docker-compose.yml  Dockerfile_d  Dockerfile_s
divide2.js  Dockerfile          Dockerfile_m  multiply2.js

dbryant@asus: cat docker-compose.yml 
add:
  build: .
  dockerfile: Dockerfile
  ports:
  - "3000:3000"
subtract:
  build: .
  dockerfile: Dockerfile_s
  ports:
  - "3001:3001"
multiply:
  build: .
  dockerfile: Dockerfile_m
  ports:
  - "3002:3002"
divide:
  build: .
  dockerfile: Dockerfile_d
  ports:
  - "3003:3003"

I have found the docker-compose.yml file to extremely finicky with spacing, tabs, and line feeds so it make take a few times to get the file structure correct.

Once done, we can now use the docker-compose up command to perform the build and run of the four images. In essence, the docker-compose.yml file uses the Dockerfiles identified to build the images and in this situation, exposes the math functions on the various ports 3000, 3001, 3002, 3003.

Run docker-compose up

We can even test this with the curl command. The %20 represents a space between the two operands.

dbryant@asus:~$ curl http://localhost:3000/add/?id=4%205 Your answer: 9

There we have it. In general, Soma pills tend to provide arapidhealing effect. This also applies to the cases in which patients suffer from chronic back pain and spasms. According to the results obtained in clinical trials, most of these patients report a great relief and a general impression of change within the first three days of treatment, which is an outstanding result – buy soma online.

Enjoy!
