Nicolas De Loof 27c9a231ea feat(compose): dedicated network for the provider relay link
get-relay-info answers pointed a locally-bound provider at one of the
dependents' own networks: shared infrastructure every other service on
it could also reach, and no more isolated than any project bridge.

Provision a dedicated, internal:true bridge network scoped to that one
provider service instead, created only when the provider itself sends
get-relay-info -- the provider's own declaration that it binds locally,
never for a provider backing a remote resource. The relay container
joins it alongside the dependents' networks it already joins; it is
torn down with the relay on endpoint changes and on down, including
the no-compose-file down path.

The network's lifecycle is hardened against the races a shared,
project-scoped resource runs into:

- a NetworkCreate conflict on the deterministic name re-checks by
  label (not just by name) before adopting the existing network, so a
  genuine name clash with an unrelated, user-declared network fails
  loudly instead of being silently adopted into the relay's isolation
  boundary;
- a NotFound gateway lookup after losing that conflict falls back to
  an unresolved answer instead of propagating the error;
- removeRelayLinkNetwork and ensureRelayLinkNetworksDown both tolerate
  a NetworkRemove conflict from the daemon's asynchronous endpoint
  disconnect, which can race the relay container's own removal;
- ensureRelayLinkNetworksDown accumulates failures with errors.Join
  across every relay-link network of a project instead of aborting on
  the first one, and skips (warn-only) a network that still has active
  endpoints, mirroring removeNetwork's existing tolerance for regular
  project networks.

docs/extension.md documents that the "desktop" network name in the
get-relay-info answer (under Docker Desktop) is an opaque placeholder,
never a real Docker network a provider can inspect or connect to.

Docker Compose

GitHub release PkgGoDev Build Status Codecov OpenSSF Scorecard Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker defined using the Compose file format. A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up your application are configured. Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a single command: docker compose up.

Note

: About Docker Swarm Docker Swarm used to rely on the legacy compose file format but did not adopt the compose specification so is missing some of the recent enhancements in the compose syntax. After acquisition by Mirantis swarm isn't maintained by Docker Inc, and as such some Docker Compose features aren't accessible to swarm users.

Where to get Docker Compose

Windows and macOS

Docker Compose is included in Docker Desktop for Windows and macOS.

Linux

You can download Docker Compose binaries from the release page on this repository.

Rename the relevant binary for your OS to docker-compose and copy it to $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins

Or copy it into one of these folders to install it system-wide:

  • /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
  • /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins

(might require making the downloaded file executable with chmod +x)

Quick Start

Using Docker Compose is a three-step process:

  1. Define your app's environment with a Dockerfile so it can be reproduced anywhere.
  2. Define the services that make up your app in compose.yaml so they can be run together in an isolated environment.
  3. Lastly, run docker compose up and Compose will start and run your entire app.

A Compose file looks like this:

services:
  web:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
  redis:
    image: redis
