Examples

This is a collection of snippets showing some common use-cases for the plugin and its caveats.

Simple run

The following pipeline will run test.sh inside a app service container using Docker Compose, the equivalent to running docker-compose run app test.sh:

steps:
  - command: test.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app

鈿狅笍 Warning: you should not use this plugin with an array of commands at the step level. Execute a script in your repository, a single command separated by ; or the plugin's command option instead:

steps:
  - plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app
          command: ["custom", "command", "values"]

The plugin will honor the value of the COMPOSE_FILE environment variable if one exists (for example, at the pipeline or step level). But you can also specify custom Docker Compose config files with the config option:

steps:
  - command: test.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app
          config: docker-compose.tests.yml
          env:
            - BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER

Authenticated registries

You can leverage the docker-login plugin in tandem for authenticating with a registry. For example, the following will build and push an image to a private repo, and pull from that private repo in subsequent run commands:

steps:
  - plugins:
      - docker-login#v2.0.1:
          username: xyz
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build: app
          push: app:index.docker.io/myorg/myrepo:tag
  - wait
  - command: test.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-login#v2.0.1:
          username: xyz
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app

Note, you will need to add the configuration to all steps in which you use this plugin.

Artifacts

If you鈥檙e generating artifacts in the build step, you鈥檒l need to ensure your Docker Compose configuration volume mounts the host machine directory into the container where those artifacts are created.

For example, if your app service generates information that you want as artifacts in the /folder/dist folder, you would need to ensure the app service in your Docker Compose config has a host volume mount defined as ./dist:/folder/dist or specify it in the plugin's configuration:

steps:
  - command: generate-dist.sh
    artifact_paths: "dist/*"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app
          volumes:
            - "./dist:/folder/dist"

If you want to use environment variables in the volumes element, you will need to activate the (unsafe) option expand-volume-vars (and most likely escape it using $$VARIABLE_NAME to ensure they are not interpolated when the pipeline is uploaded).

Environment

By default, docker-compose makes whatever environment variables it gets available for interpolation of docker-compose.yml, but it doesn't pass them in to your containers.

You can use the environment key in docker-compose.yml to either set specific environment vars or "pass through" environment variables from outside docker-compose.

Specific values

If you want to add extra environment above what is declared in your docker-compose.yml, this plugin offers a environment block of its own:

steps:
  - command: generate-dist.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app
          env:
            - BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER
            - BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST
            - MY_CUSTOM_ENV=llamas

Note how the values in the list can either be just a key (so the value is sourced from the environment) or a KEY=VALUE pair.

Pipeline variables

Alternatively, you can have the plugin add all environment variables defined for the job by the agent as defined in BUILDKITE_ENV_FILE activating the propagate-environment option:

steps:
  - command: use-vars.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app
          propagate-environment: true

Container Labels

When running a command, the plugin will automatically add the following Docker labels to the container specified in the run option:

  • com.buildkite.pipeline_name=${BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_NAME}
  • com.buildkite.pipeline_slug=${BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_SLUG}
  • com.buildkite.build_number=${BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER}
  • com.buildkite.job_id=${BUILDKITE_JOB_ID}
  • com.buildkite.job_label=${BUILDKITE_LABEL}
  • com.buildkite.step_key=${BUILDKITE_STEP_KEY}
  • com.buildkite.agent_name=${BUILDKITE_AGENT_NAME}
  • com.buildkite.agent_id=${BUILDKITE_AGENT_ID}

These labels can make it easier to query containers on hosts using docker ps for example:

docker ps --filter "label=com.buildkite.job_label=Run tests"

This behaviour can be disabled with the run-labels: false option.

Build Arguments

You can use the build args key in docker-compose.yml to set specific build arguments when building an image.

Alternatively, if you want to set build arguments when pre-building an image, this plugin offers an args block of its own:

steps:
  - command: generate-dist.sh
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build: app
          args:
            - MY_CUSTOM_ARG=panda
          push: app

Note that the values in the list must be a KEY=VALUE pair.

Pre-building the image

If you have multiple steps that use the same service/image (such as steps that run in parallel), you can use this plugin in a specific build step to your pipeline. That will set specific metadata in the pipeline for this plugin to use in run steps afterwards:

steps:
  - label: ":docker: Build"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build: app
          push: app

  - wait

  - label: ":docker: Test %n"
    command: test.sh
    parallelism: 25
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: app

All run steps for the service app will automatically pull and use the pre-built image. Without this, each Test %n job would build its own instead.

Building multiple images

Sometimes your compose file has multiple services that need building. The example below will build images for the app and tests service and then the run step will pull them down and use them for the run as needed.

steps:
  - label: ":docker: Build"
    agents:
      queue: docker-builder
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build:
            - app
            - tests
          push:
            - app
            - tests

  - wait

  - label: ":docker: Test %n"
    command: test.sh
    parallelism: 25
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          run: tests

Pushing Tagged Images

If you want to push your Docker images ready for deployment, you can use the push configuration (which operates similar to docker-compose push:

steps:
  - label: ":docker: Push"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          push: app

To push multiple images, you can use a list:

steps:
  - label: ":docker: Push"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          push:
            - first-service
            - second-service

If you want to push to a specific location (that's not defined as the image in your docker-compose.yml), you can use the {service}:{repo}:{tag} format, for example:

steps:
  - label: ":docker: Push"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          push:
            - app:index.docker.io/myorg/myrepo/myapp
            - app:index.docker.io/myorg/myrepo/myapp:latest

Reusing caches from images

A newly spawned agent won't contain any of the docker caches for the first run which will result in a long build step. To mitigate this you can reuse caches from a previously built image (if it was pushed from a previous build):

steps:
  - label: ":docker Build an image"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build: app
          push: app:index.docker.io/myorg/myrepo:my-branch
          cache-from:
            - "app:myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:my-branch"
            - "app:myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:latest"

  - wait

  - label: ":docker: Push to final repository"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          push:
            - app:myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:latest

For images to be pulled and used as a cache they need to be built with the BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1 build argument.

The values you add in the cache-from will be mapped to the corresponding service's configuration. That means that you can use any valid cache type your environment supports:

steps:
  - label: ":docker Build an image"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          build: app
          push: app:index.docker.io/myorg/myrepo:my-branch
          cache-from:
            - "app:type=registry,ref=myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:my-branch"
            - "app:myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:latest"

  - wait

  - label: ":docker: Push to final repository"
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v5.2.0:
          push:
            - app:myregistry:port/myrepo/myapp:latest
