I'm trying to either set a docker-compose project name, or to be able to reference it within my config file. Is any of these possible?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm following this tutorial so I ended up with a docker-container.yml
file that reads
web:
build: .
command: bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b 0.0.0.0
ports:
- "3000:3000"
links:
- db
volumes:
- ".:/myapp"
volumes_from:
- bundle
db:
image: mongo
ports:
- "27017"
bundle:
image: myapp_web # <--- this is actually {$project_name}_web being hard-coded
command: echo Hello
volumes:
- /bundle
Due to the image: myapp_web
config, this will only work if the project name itself is myapp
. This will be true if I'm working on a directory named myapp
or if I use docker-compose -p myapp
.
But as soon as someone changes the directory name, this will crash. I'd like to tell docker-compose to use a custom COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME
variable without having to pass the -p fancyname
option.
Another way I could imagine would be to pass some kind of image: {$COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME
}_web in the yml file, but I'm really not sure this can be achieved.
Any idea?
