Manage Docker-Compose via Node.js

docker-compose is a small library that allows you to run docker-compose(which is still required) via Node.js. This is useful to bootstrap test environments. You might also generate your docker-compose.yml files using composefile.

Installation

npm install --save-dev docker-compose

Usage

docker-compose current supports these commands:

• up - create and start containers - always uses the -d flag due to non interactive mode
• down - Stop and remove containers, networks, images, and volumes
• kill - Kill containers
• stop - Stop services
• rm - Remove stopped containers - always uses the -f flag due to non interactive mode

All commands return a Promise.

Example

To start containers based on the docker-compose.yml file in your current directory, just call compose.up like this:

compose.up({ cwd: path.join(__dirname), log: true })
  .then(
    () => { console.log('done')}, 
    err => { console.log('something went wrong:', err.message)}
  );

Options

docker-compose accepts these params:

• cwd {string}: mandatory folder path to the docker-compose.yml (you don't need to specify the name of the docker-compose.yml - and custom file names are not supported yet (PR ahead? 😉))
• [log] {boolean}: optional setting to enable console logging (output of docker-compose stdout/stderr output)

Running the tests

While docker-compose runs on Node.js 6+, running the tests requires you to use Node.js 8 as they make use of async/await.

npm test
