Docker Compose Files

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. We use Docker Compose to run the applications needed during Yorkie development.

When developing Yorkie, we can easily run the required dependant applications through docker-compose command.

# Run docker-compose up and Compose starts and runs apps.
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -d

# Shut down the apps
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down

The docker-compose files we use are as follows:

• docker-compose.yml: This file is used to run Yorkie in standalone mode. It only runs MongoDB, which is used to store Yorkie data.
• docker-compose-ci.yml: This file is used to run Yorkie's integration tests. It runs MongoDB and etcd.
• docker-compose-full.yml: This file launches all the applications needed to develop Yorkie. It also runs monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
