Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

Executing Docker Compose

Before executing Docker Compose, you need to build the JAR of all services. You can execute mvn clean package from the code's home directory (home/Chapter5) to do so. Then, you need to build the Docker images using the mvn docker:build command. You need to go to the service's home directory (home/Chapter5/restaurant-service) and then execute it.

You can validate all generated images using the following command if you're pushing to a local Docker repository. Otherwise, this command will display the images once docker-compose is up and running:

docker image ls -a

Use the following command to execute the service containers. You need to run it from the same directory in which the docker-compose file is stored:

$ docker-compose ...
