Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins

Using the docker-compose command

The docker-compose command reads the definition file and creates the environment:

$ docker-compose up -d

The command started two containers, calculator and redis in the background (-d option). We can check that the containers are running:

$ docker-compose ps Name                   Command            State          Ports ---------------------------------------------------------------------------project_calculator_1   java -jar app.jar    Up     0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcpproject_redis_1        docker-entrypoint.sh redis ... Up 6379/tcp

The container names are prefixed with the project name project, which is taken from the name of the directory in which the docker-compose.yml file is placed. We could specify the project name manually using the -p <project_name> option. ...
