Docker Compose Wrapper CLI

CLI wrapper for docker build and run services based on docker-compose.yaml in frontend project.

The only thing we concern is the dynamic version number.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed
• Docker compose installed - Can use docker compose command
• Docker Service started
• docker-compose.yaml file existed in cwd

Features

• Image version existence check
• Use semver version
• Use name and version fields of package.json default

Installation

npm i -g dockerc

Usage

Assume that there is the following Dockerfile file:

FROM nginx:1.24.0-alpine-slim

COPY --chown=nginx:nginx ./dist /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY ./nginx.conf /etc/nginx/templates/default.conf.template

ARG VERSION="v0.0.0"
ENV VERSION=${VERSION}

And the following docker-compose.yaml file:

version: "3"
services:
  build:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      args:
        VERSION: ${VERSION}
    image: ${IMAGE_NAME}:${VERSION}

  dev:
    image: nginx:1.24.0
    container_name: example-dev
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./dist:/usr/share/nginx/html
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/templates/default.conf.template
    ports:
      - 8080:80

  prod:
    image: ${IMAGE_NAME}:${VERSION}
    container_name: example-prod
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80

Commands

• dockerc build
• dockerc dev
• dockerc help [COMMANDS]
• dockerc prod

dockerc build

Build docker images with build service in docker-compose.yaml file.

USAGE
  $ dockerc build [--image <value>] [--no-export] [--version <value>]

FLAGS
  --image=<value>    Docker image name. Use the `name` field of the `package.json` file in CWD.
  --no-export        Don't export image after the docker build is successful.
  --version=<value>  Docker image version. Use the `version` field of the `package.json` file in CWD.

DESCRIPTION
  Build docker images with `build` service in `docker-compose.yaml` file.
  It will inject `IMAGE_NAME` and `VERSION` environment variables.

EXAMPLES
  $ dockerc build    # Use the `name` and `version` field of the `package.json` file in CWD.

  $ dockerc build --image example    # Specify image name

  $ dockerc build --version 1.0.0    # Specify image version

See code: src/commands/build.ts

dockerc dev

Start dev service in docker-compose.yaml file.

USAGE
  $ dockerc dev

DESCRIPTION
  Start `dev` service in `docker-compose.yaml` file.

EXAMPLES
  $ dockerc dev

See code: src/commands/dev.ts

dockerc help [COMMANDS]

Display help for dockerc.

USAGE
  $ dockerc help [COMMANDS] [-n]

ARGUMENTS
  COMMANDS  Command to show help for.

FLAGS
  -n, --nested-commands  Include all nested commands in the output.

DESCRIPTION
  Display help for dockerc.

See code: @oclif/plugin-help

dockerc prod

Start prod service in docker-compose.yaml file.

USAGE
  $ dockerc prod [--image <value>]

FLAGS
  --image=<value>  Docker image name. Use the `name` field of the `package.json` file in CWD.

DESCRIPTION
  Start `prod` service in `docker-compose.yaml` file.
  The docker image will be selected from the existing image list
  It will inject `IMAGE_NAME` and `VERSION` environment variables.

EXAMPLES
  $ dockerc prod    # Use the `name` field of the `package.json` file in CWD.

  $ dockerc prod --image example    # Specify image name

See code: src/commands/prod.ts

Integration

release-it

# .release-it.yaml
# omit other configuration
hooks:
  "after:release": "dockerc build --version ${version}"

Development

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jxsylar/dockerc

Install dependencies

pnpm i

Also, It will run build automatic.

Install CLI global

npm link

It will install to $(npm prefix root -g)/bin/ folder, make sure this path is in PATH env.

Now you can use dockerc command in your shell:

docker

Update

After code changed, build again:

pnpm run build

And the dockerc command will automatic use the latest version, which means you don't need to run npm link again.

Document

Automatically update README.md by running:

pnpm run doc

Note: The command must run after building.

Uninstall

npm unlink -g dockerc

This command can run in any path, which means you don't need to cd the project path.
