Docker Compose Services

Deploy Docker Compose stacks to a Docker Swarm. Services are deployed as Docker Swarm stacks and can reference NFS volumes from DockNimbus.

Deploy a service​

nimbus service deploy \
  --name my-stack \
  --swarm SWARM_ID \
  --file docker-compose.yml

With environment variables​

nimbus service deploy \
  --name my-stack \
  --swarm SWARM_ID \
  --file docker-compose.yml \
  --env DB_HOST=postgres \
  --env DB_PASSWORD=secret

With volume mappings​

Map Compose volume names to DockNimbus NFS volumes:

nimbus service deploy \
  --name my-stack \
  --swarm SWARM_ID \
  --file docker-compose.yml \
  --volume data:VOL_ID

Where data is the volume name in your docker-compose.yml and VOL_ID is the DockNimbus volume.

Stop and start​

Stop a service (removes the stack from Docker, preserves config in DockNimbus):

nimbus service stop SERVICE_ID

Start a stopped service (redeploys from the stored compose file):

nimbus service start SERVICE_ID

List, describe, and remove​

nimbus service list
nimbus service describe SERVICE_ID
nimbus service remove SERVICE_ID
