Runing composer in a docker-compose configuration

[nadar]

Q:
I am workingn with the docker-compose.yml that I founded in the kikstart repo.
All works fine but I notice that composer it is in another container and also that after it runs the composer install command the continer dies.
Is that normal ?
I am trying to run some composer commands but i can’t find the way.

A:
That is correctly, the composer command is seperated inside a container based on the composer dockerfile and after installing the container and running its command, it will shutdown. (docker compose will run command: composer install when you do docker-compose up, see the docker-compose.yml)

In order to run composer commands try this:

docker-compose run luya_composer install

Where install is the command you like to run, for example composer update would be:

docker-compose run luya_composer update

Does that answer your question?
