Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It allows you to use a YAML file to configure your application's services, networks, and volumes, and then spin up all the containers required to run your application with a single command.
Note:
The easiest and recommended way to get Docker Compose is to install Docker Desktop. Docker Desktop includes Docker Compose along with Docker Engine and Docker CLI which are Compose prerequisites.Install Compose if needed: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Add compose/docker-compose.yml:
services:
lr-event-books-web:
build:
context: ../
dockerfile: service/web/Dockerfile
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
- ./config-web.yml:/home/.server/config.yml
depends_on:
mysql:
condition: service_healthy
kafka:
condition: service_healthy
lr-event-books-trend:
build:
context: ../
dockerfile: service/trend/Dockerfile
ports:
- 8081:8081
volumes:
- ./config-trend.yml:/home/.server/config.yml
depends_on:
redis:
condition: service_started
kafka:
condition: service_healthy
lr-event-books-rec:
build:
context: ../
dockerfile: service/recommendation/Dockerfile
ports:
- 8082:8082
volumes:
- ./config-rec.yml:/home/.server/config.yml
depends_on:
mongo:
condition: service_started
kafka:
condition: service_healthy
redis:
image: docker.io/bitnami/redis:7.0

healthcheck:

It‘s not easy to find a working yet not annoying healthcheck test for MySQL and Kafka in Docker Compose.
Add compose/config-web.yml:
app:
port: 8080
page_size: 5
templates_pattern: "templates/*.html"
db:
dsn: "test_user:test_pass@tcp(mysql:3306)/lr_event_book?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local"
mq:
brokers:
- kafka:9092
topic: "lr-book-searches"
remote:
trend_url: "http://lr-event-books-trend:8081/trends"
rec_url: "http://lr-event-books-rec:8082/recommendations?uid="
You need a special version of the config file for Docker Compose because all the hosts, paths, and urls vary in different hosting environments.
Add compose/config-trend.yml:
app:
port: 8081
cache:
address: redis:6379
password: test_pass
db: 0
mq:
brokers:
- kafka:9092
topic: "lr-book-searches"
group_id: "trend-svr"
Add compose/config-rec.yml:
app:
port: 8082
page_size: 10
db:
mongo_uri: "mongodb://mongo:27017"
mongo_db_name: "lr_event_rec"
mq:
brokers:
- kafka:9092
topic: "lr-book-searches"
group_id: "rec-svr"
Add compose/.env:
REDIS_PASSWORD=test_pass
MYSQL_PASSWORD=test_pass
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test_root_pass

.envfiles should be ignored in.gitignore.

You don't need to manually install or setup those databases and message queues anymore. They're all in good hands with docker compose.
Anyway, you need to make sure that you have the MySQL databaselr_event_bookin your mysql docker container.CREATE DATABASE lr_event_book CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
Put in some test books if there isn‘t one.
