Tej-Singh-Rana · May 14, 2020, 8:31pm

can i knew what is the actual task is ?
in Docker-compose we don’t need to describe network because it creates automatically default network for those services. If in task it is described to create a new network then you can create.

version: "2.1"
services:
  db:
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB = "db"
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD = ""
      - POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD = "trust"
  image: postgres
  restart: always
  ports:
    - "5432:5432"
  volumes:
    - /opt/database:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  wordpress:
    image: wordpress
    links:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8085:80"
    volumes:
      - ./root/wordpress
    restart: always

facing issue in database, password authentication so kindly solve it and let me know also.

ppnehe · May 14, 2020, 8:56pm

This is described in

Docker for beginners course
Module : Docker Compose Lab 4

Lab 1
First create a postgress database container called db , image postgres , environmental variable POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword

Lab 2
Next let’s create a simple wordpress container called wordpress , image: wordpress , link it to the container db and expose it on host port 8085

Lab 3
Now that we have a working wordpress site, lets run it with Docker Compose!
Let’s clean up the actions carried out in previous steps. Delete the db and wordpress containers.

Lab 4
Create a docker-compose.yml file under the path /root/wordpress . Once done, run a docker-compose up.
The compose file should have exact specification of the wordpress and db container

All of below checks fails and hence I have uploaded by script in above outputs.Though my script passes through yamllint.com website checks

Syntax Check for the docker-compose.yml
Wordpress running on the correct HostPort?
WordPress linked to db container
db container running with env variable POSTGRES_PASSWORD?

services: 
  db:

after this do
docker logs db_container
and try to resolve that logs.

ppnehe · May 15, 2020, 5:40pm

Thank you Sir ,

I used this script and tried resolving as much as I could to reach a point where docker-compose config command does not throw any more errors .

Few things in scripts provided docker-config did not accepted while parsing such as " " given to port numbers , version number 2.2 , array for links and ports . Only after removing those script was not accepted by docker-compose config for any errors.

Now docker-compose config does not gives any error for this modified script

But docker-compose up docker-compose.yml still gives error as No such service : docker-compose.yml

I have provided all outputs below such as error logs , pwd , ls -al etc

$ pwd
/root/wordpress
$
$ ls -al
total 12

I attempted this on the kodekloud lab for module docker-compose in docker for beginners section and below are the checks results

Tasks not completed!
Syntax Check for the docker-compose.yml ? Correct
Wordpress running on the correct HostPort? Wrong
WordPress linked to db container Wrong
db container running with env variable POSTGRES_PASSWORD ? Wrong

ppnehe · May 28, 2020, 1:17pm

hi Team ,

Can anyone of you guide on above issues ?
Thanks in advance

with best regards
Pradeep Nehe

Tej-Singh-Rana · May 28, 2020, 1:21pm

Let me attempt this task.

Tej-Singh-Rana · May 28, 2020, 2:44pm

Not working as of now may be need to add additional args or may be this is a technical glitch.

ppnehe · May 28, 2020, 2:55pm

Sir ,

Thank you for your quick response.

Can you please bring this to notice of our trainer Mumshad to guide us ?
This is the only lab we have for beginners in Docker compose and it is not working .

It shatters my confidence in whatever I have learnt in Docker and Yaml so far.
This is so basic and minimal configurations I am not sure how can I be move forward with Docker Swarm or advanced modules !!

with best regards
Pradeep Nehe

Tej-Singh-Rana · May 28, 2020, 3:16pm

@Ayman @Inderpreet please have a look into it.

Ayman · May 29, 2020, 6:01pm

Hi @ppnehe @Tej-Singh-Rana
Kindly check the full answer :

version: '3'

services:
   db:
     image: postgres
       POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretpassword

   wordpress:
     links:
       - db
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "8085:80"   environment:
       POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretpassword

   wordpress:
     links:
       - db
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "8085:80"

ppnehe · May 29, 2020, 9:38pm

@Ayman

Sir ,

Have you tested this and worked at your end ?
I am testing this in Kodekloud platform of docker-compose lab but did not worked in my many attempts.

I used your file " as it is " and below is the output

$
$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: ‘3’

services:
db:
image: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretpassword

wordpress:
links:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- “8085:80” environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretpassword

wordpress:
links:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- “8085:80”

$
$ docker-compose up
ERROR: yaml.scanner.ScannerError: mapping values are not allowed here
in “./docker-compose.yml”, line 6, column 25
$
$ pwd
/root/wordpress
$

I tried fixing each and every error thrown by the terminal but it did not worked for me .
Every time you notice vi below is I have tried to fix each error I received .

I thought I was fixing errors in line 6 and line 13 in every vi command below.

I have even used YAMLLINT validator which resulted in all green but did not worked when docker-compose up was tried.

$ pwd
/root/wordpress
$
$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: ‘3’

services:
db:

Dear,

“As it is” is not working.

I used below and it worked for me.

version: ‘3’

services:
db:
image: postgres
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword

wordpress:
links:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- “8085:80”

Thanks

Tej-Singh-Rana · May 30, 2020, 3:41am

strange

version: '3'
services: 
  db:
    image: postgres
    environment:
     - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
  wordpress:
    image: wordpress
    ports:
     - '8085:80'
    links:
     - db

I am using depends_on instead of links. I don’t know why its failed at that time.

farash · May 30, 2020, 4:12am

As far as the info i got from stackoverflow.

“depends-on decides the dependency and the order of container creation and links not only does these, but also containers for the linked service will be reachable at a hostname identical to the alias, or the service name if no alias was specified.”

i.e., with links wordpress will be able to access the database using port exposed in the db image. If depends_on was used, this wouldn’t be possible, but the startup order of the containers would be correct.

It makes sense for the issue here.
