Docker Compose
gw
plays very well with docker
, especially docker compose
. You can use gw
to build the Docker image and then stop and recreate the container. It can be done with docker
, but it is recommended to do it with docker compose
as it will handle the whole lifecycle of build, stop and restart.
Project configuration #
Make sure to have a docker-compose.yaml
file in the root directory. It can start existing containers or build images from the local files.
Note: if you build docker images locally, you save the storage and transfer costs of the docker image repository.
Since it is also a file in your git repository, it basically doubles as an infrastructure-as-a-code. You can modify the docker compose
setup (e.g. add another dependency, for example cache), commit and have the changes reflected in your infrastructure immediately.
gw configuration #
Just simply point to your repository and run docker compose up
. It will restart your containers and apply any new changes.
gw /path/to/repo -s 'docker compose up -d'
If you are building your containers, add --build
:
gw /path/to/repo -s 'docker compose up -d --build'
