Docker Compose - Command using Container Environme

问题:

Using Docker Compose to link a master and slave service together. The slave container is thus automatically injected by Compose with environment variables containing the various ports and IPs needed to connect to the other master container.

The service accepts the IP/Port of the master via a command line argument, so I set this in my commands.

master:
  command: myservice
  ports:
    - '29015'
slave:
  command: myservice --master ${MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_ADDR}:${MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_PORT}
  links:
    - master:master

The problem is that the environment variables like MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_PORT are evaluated when the compose command is run, and not from within the container itself where they are actually set.

When starting the cluster - you see the warning: WARNING: The MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_ADDR variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

I tried setting entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] but produced unusual behaviour where the service wouldn't see any variables at all. (For information, the service I'm actually using is RethinkDB).

回答1:

As stated in the documentation, link environment variables are now discouraged, and you should just write master instead of $MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_ADDR. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any point to writing $MASTER_PORT_29015_TCP_PORT when you know its value's going to be 29015.

Hence, change the command to:

myservice --master master:29015
