Docker Compose in Depth

This lecture introduces the sample Wordpress environment we will be reproducing in the section.

In this lecture, we'll take a look at existing approaches for integrating the "wordpress" container.

In this lecture, we'll update the "version 1" service configuration to the Compose version 2 format, and learn about some of the caveats of version 1 vs 2.

In this lecture, we'll make our non-persistent "db" service persistent through the use of volumes. We'll also experiment with ways our containers may look persistent, but ultimately bite us.

In this lecture, we'll learn about how Compose's restart policies and dependency configurations affect containers.

In this lecture, we'll add a dependency to our Compose environment and finalize our "db" service. We'll illustrate how new changes to the service allow us to achieve persistence.

This lecture introduces Docker Networks in Compose. You'll hear about a few of the capabilities and features provided before jumping in the the subsequent lectures.

In this lecture, you'll learn about Compose's default network, how it behaves, and how you can change the name or behavior of the network.

This lecture explores the ability to isolate containers using multiple networks. You'll learn how to add containers to a network, isolate containers from one another and a few handy shortcuts for diagnosing network reachability.

This lecture will explore the 'alias' and 'container_name' service configurations and how they affect scalability and reachability of containers.

In this lecture, we'll explore how Docker "links" work in Compose. While they're not suggested, you'll learn how they behave and why you may want to avoid them in Compose.

This explanatory lecture will explore how updates to a Compose environment affect existing network connections.

Rounding out the section, we'll learn how you can make use of existing external networks from a Compose environment. You'll also learn how to further configure Compose networks to fit into your own specialized environments.

This lecture will introduce using Docker Volume's in Compose and how they can be used.

This lecture will explore how to add a simple volume to a service.

This lecture explores more specialized volumes. In particular, you'll learn how to create named volumes and share them between containers.

In this lecture you will learn about advanced Volume configuration, including external volumes and the plethora of Volume plugins available in Compose.

This lecture will teach you how to configure logging drivers for containers in your Compose environment

This lecture will show you how to forward logs from your Compose environment to a remote Syslog service (in this case, Paperclip).

This lecture will give you an overview of command-line arguments and environment variables you can use to influence how your Compose environment runs. You'll learn how to source environments from other files with "--file", change the name of your environment, and set Docker host options.

This lecture will explore the ins and outs of Compose's "up" lifecycle and how you can modify its behavior or run sections of the lifecycle independently.

This lecture will teach you a few commands you can use to interact with the shape of a running environment. You'll learn to change the number of running services with 'scale', halt services with 'pause' & 'unpause', and run one-off "administrative" jobs with 'run'.

This lecture will explore Compose's "informational" commands: 'port', 'ps', 'logs' and 'events'.

This lecture will explore the ins and outs of Compose's "down" lifecycle and how you can modify its behavior or run sections of the lifecycle independently. You'll also learn how to restart containers with the 'restart' command.

This lecture will explore "environment files" in Compose, and how you can use them to provide default or non-default variables for consumption in your Compose YAML files.

This lecture will dive deep on the "--file" parameter of the Compose CLI. You'll learn the usage and behavior for merging multiple environments or environment snippets into a single Compose environment.

This lecture will introduce the default "override" file Compose reads from, what you can use it for, and how to exclude it from your Compose environment.

This lecture will show you how to use the 'extends' service configuration to build a new service based off a "base" service in another file.

This lecture will explore how you can use Compose's 'run' command along with additional Compose files to run administrative tasks not normally a part of your default environment.

This lecture will introduce a "production" like sample environment—based on the example from the Compose Basics section—and how it enacts a few best practices.

This lecture will explore the "provision" script provided in the example. You'll learn how to use it to create and interact with a Swarm environment on your local development machine, or on Digital Ocean.

This lecture will teach you how to deploy the a sample environment to your freshly minted Swarm Cluster using Compose environment variables.

This lecture will explore some of the deficiencies of the sample environment, and prompt the student to undertake one of many potential improvements on their own.
