• Docker: Ensure that Docker is installed on your system. If you haven't installed it yet, please refer to the official Docker documentation for instructions on how to install it for your specific operating system.

Cloning the Repository

To start using the docker-compose.yml file in a repository, you need to clone the repository to your local machine. Follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt on your machine.

2. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.

3. Use the git clone command followed by the repository URL to clone the repository. For example:

   git clone https://github.com/ballerine-io/ballerine.git

4. Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the cloned repository directory:

   cd ballerine;

5. Run the ballerine_install script with domain name incase Ballerine is installed on any cloud provider

   ./ballerine_install.sh <domain_name>

   For Example:

   ./ballerine_install.sh gpwf.eu-central-1.ballerine.io

Additional Docker Compose Commands

Here are some additional Docker Compose commands that might be useful when working with the repository:

• docker-compose ps: Lists the status of the containers defined in docker-compose.yml.
• docker-compose logs: Displays the logs of the running containers.
• docker-compose logs -f: Displays the stream of logs of the running containers.
• docker-compose logs <service_name>: Displays the logs of the specific service containers.
• docker-compose logs -f <service_name>: Displays the stream of logs of the specific service.
• docker-compose exec <service_name> <command>: Runs a command inside a specific service container.
• docker-compose restart <service_name>: Restarts a specific service.
• docker-compose build: Builds or rebuilds the images defined in the docker-compose.yml file.
• docker-compose up -d --no-deps <service_name>: Builds or rebuilds the service specified in <service_name>.
• docker-compose up --build --force-recreate: Builds or rebuilds all the services in docker-compose.yml

Conclusion

By utilizing the docker-compose.yml file in a repository, you can easily set up and manage the required Docker services for the project. Cloning the repository and running docker-compose up allows you to quickly start the defined containers. Be sure to refer to the repository's documentation for any specific instructions or configurations related to the docker-compose.yml file.
