Experiment with docker interace#
Status#
Accepted
Context#
Note
This ADR’s scope is very limited to developer facing make interface for docker and does not address questions on other make interfaces.
Note
This decision has a shelf life of the enterprise-catalog prototype and will be reevaluated as we continue testing decentralized devstack.
The current devstack wraps some common docker-compose commands with make targets.
During development, the question about the necessitate of make targets to wrap common docker-compose files was raised. Some make target seemed unnecessary as wrappers to simple commands.
Some of the make targets that are deemed unnecessary:
build: docker-compose build
pull: docker-compose pull
down: docker-compose down
shell: docker-compose exec app bash
logs: docker-compose logs -f app
up: docker-compose up -d
Options#
Follow the pattern of current Devstack, which uses make targets as a basic interface for developers.
Use docker-compose commands directly for managing images and containers
Decision#
For initial prototype, we will attempt to interface with DD through docker-compose commands directly. How_to docs should be created to help developers use docker-compose commands.
Main reasons for decision:
these make targets do not sufficiently decrease verbosity
makes debugging easier by allowing you to directly use resources on the interwebs
standardization by using external standard
developers will learn how to use this essential technology during normal work rather than have to learn it only during debugging
This decision will be reevaluated after prototyping with enterprise-catalog.
