| 2 | +== Docker Compose Support |
| 3 | +Docker Compose is a popular technology that can be used to define and manage multiple containers for services that your application needs. |
| 4 | +A `compose.yml` file is typically created next to your application which defines and configures service containers. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +A typical workflow with Docker Compose is to run `docker compose up`. |
| 7 | +Work on your application with it connecting to started services. |
| 8 | +Then run `docker compose down` when you are finished. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +To help with this workflow, the `spring-boot-docker-compose` module can be used. When this modules is included as a dependency Spring Boot will do the following: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +* Search for a `compose.yml` and other common compose filenames in your application directory |
| 13 | +* Call `docker compose up` with the discovered `compose.yml` |
| 14 | +* Create service connection beans for each supported container |
| 15 | +* Call `docker compose down` when the application is shutdown |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +NOTE: The `docker compose` or `docker-compose` CLI application needs to be on your path in order for Spring Boot’s support to work correctly. |
| 18 | + |

| 21 | +[[features.docker-compose.service-connections]] |
| 22 | +=== Service Connections |
| 23 | +A service connection is a connection to any remote service. |
| 24 | +Spring Boot’s auto-configuration can consume the details of a service connection and use them to establish a connection to a remote service. |
| 25 | +When doing so, the connection details take precedence over any connection-related configuration properties. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +When using Spring Boot’s Docker Compose support, service connections are established to the port mapped by the container. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +NOTE: Docker compose is usually used in such a way that the ports inside the container are mapped to ephemeral ports on your computer. |
| 30 | +For example, A Postgres server my run inside the container using port 5432 but be mapped to a totally different port locally. |
| 31 | +The service connection will always discover and use the locally mapped port. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Service connections are established by using the image name of the container. |
| 34 | +The following service connections are currently supported: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +|=== |
| 38 | +| Connection Details | Matched on |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +| `ElasticsearchConnectionDetails` |
| 41 | +| Containers named "elasticsearch" |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +| `JdbcConnectionDetails` |
| 44 | +| Containers named "mariadb", "mysql" or "postgres" |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +| `MongoConnectionDetails` |
| 47 | +| Containers named "mongo" |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +| `R2dbcConnectionDetails` |
| 50 | +| Containers named "mariadb", "mysql" or "postgres" |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +| `RabbitConnectionDetails` |
| 53 | +| Containers named "rabbitmq" |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +| `RedisConnectionDetails` |
| 56 | +| Containers named "redis" |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +| `ZipkinConnectionDetails` |
| 59 | +| Containers named "zipkin". |

| 64 | +[[features.docker-compose.custom-images]] |
| 65 | +=== Custom Images |
| 66 | +Sometimes you may need to use your own version of an image to provide a service. |
| 67 | +You can use any custom image as long as it behaves in the same way as the standard image. |
| 68 | +Specifically, any environment variables that the standard image supports must also be used in your custom image. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +If your image uses a different name, you can use a label in your `compose.yml` file so that Spring Boot can provide a service connection. |
| 71 | +Use a label named `org.springframework.boot.service-connection` to provide the service name. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +For example: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +[source,yaml,indent=0] |
| 76 | +---- |
| 77 | + services: |
| 78 | + redis: |
| 79 | + image: 'mycompany/mycustomredis:7.0' |
| 80 | + ports: |
| 81 | + - '6379' |
| 82 | + labels: |
| 83 | + org.springframework.boot.service-connection: redis |
| 84 | +---- |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +[[features.docker-compose.skipping]] |
| 89 | +=== Skipping Specific Containers |
| 90 | +If you have a container image defined in your `compose.yml` that you don’t want connected to your application you can use a label to ignore it. |
| 91 | +Any container with labeled with `org.springframework.boot.ignore` will be ignored by Spring Boot. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +For example: |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +[source,yaml,indent=0] |
| 96 | +---- |
| 97 | + services: |
| 98 | + redis: |
| 99 | + image: 'redis:7.0' |
| 100 | + ports: |
| 101 | + - '6379' |
| 102 | + labels: |
| 103 | + org.springframework.boot.ignore: true |
| 104 | +---- |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +[[features.docker-compose.specific-file]] |
| 109 | +=== Using a Specific Compose File |
| 110 | +If your compose file is not in the same directory as your application, or if it’s named differently, you can use configprop:spring.docker.compose.file[] in your `application.properties` or `application.yaml` to point to a different file. |
| 111 | +Properties can be defined as an exact path or a path that’s relative to your application. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +For example: |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks] |
| 116 | +---- |
| 117 | + spring: |
| 118 | + docker: |
| 119 | + compose: |
| 120 | + file: "../my-compose.yml" |
| 121 | +---- |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +[[features.docker-compose.readiness]] |
| 126 | +=== Waiting for Container Readiness |
| 127 | +Containers started by Docker Compose may take some time to become fully ready. |
| 128 | +The recommended way of checking for readiness is to add a `healthcheck` section under the service definition in your `compose.yml` file. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +Since it's not uncommon for `healthcheck` configuration to be omitted from `compose.yml` files, Spring Boot also checks directly for service readiness. |
| 131 | +By default, a container is considered ready when a TCP/IP connection can be established to its mapped port. |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +You can disable this on a per-container basis by add a `org.springframework.boot.readiness-check.tcp.disable` label in your `compose.yml` file. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +For example: |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +[source,yaml,indent=0] |
| 138 | +---- |
| 139 | + services: |
| 140 | + redis: |
| 141 | + image: 'redis:7.0' |
| 142 | + ports: |
| 143 | + - '6379' |
| 144 | + labels: |
| 145 | + org.springframework.boot.readiness-check.tcp.disable: true |
| 146 | +---- |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +You can also change timeout values in your `application.properties` or `application.yaml` file: |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks] |
| 151 | +---- |
| 152 | + spring: |
| 153 | + docker: |
| 154 | + compose: |
| 155 | + readiness: |
| 156 | + tcp: |
| 157 | + connect-timeout: 10s |
| 158 | + read-timeout: 5s |
| 159 | +---- |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +The overall timeout can be configured using configprop:spring.docker.compose.readiness.timeout[]. |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +TIP: You can also provide your own `ServiceReadinessCheck` implementations and register them in the `spring.factories` file. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +[[features.docker-compose.lifecycle]] |
| 168 | +=== Controlling the Docker Compose Lifecycle |
| 169 | +By default Spring Boot calls `docker compose up` when your application starts and `docker compose down` when it's shutdown. |
| 170 | +If you prefer to have different lifecycle management you can use the configprop:spring.docker.compose.lifecycle-management[] property. |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +The following values are supported: |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +* `none` - Do not start or stop Docker Compose |
| 175 | +* `start-only` - Start Docker Compose on application startup and leave it running |
| 176 | +* `start-and-stop` - Start Docker Compose on application startup and stop it on application shutdown |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +In addition you can use the configprop:spring.docker.compose.startup.command[] property to change if `docker up` or `docker start` is used. |
| 179 | +The configprop:spring.docker.compose.shutdown.command[] allows you to configure if `docker down` or `docker stop` is used. |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +The following example shows how lifecycle management can be configured: |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks] |
| 184 | +---- |
| 185 | + spring: |
| 186 | + docker: |
| 187 | + compose: |
| 188 | + lifecycle-management: start-and-stop |
| 189 | + startup: |
| 190 | + command: start |
| 191 | + shutdown: |
| 192 | + command: stop |
| 193 | + timeout: 1m |
| 194 | +---- |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +[[features.docker-compose.profiles]] |
| 199 | +=== Activating Docker Compose Profiles |
| 200 | +Docker Compose profiles are similar to Spring profiles in that they let you adjust your Docker Compose configuration for specific environments. |
| 201 | +If you want to activate a specific Docker Compose profile you can use the configprop:spring.docker.compose.profiles.active[] property in your `application.properties` or `application.yaml` file: |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks] |
| 204 | +---- |
| 205 | + spring: |
| 206 | + docker: |
| 207 | + compose: |
| 208 | + profiles: |
| 209 | + active: "myprofile" |
| 210 | +---- |
