Docker Compose: a nice way to set up a dev environment
======
Hello! Here is another post about [computer tools that Ive appreciated][1]. This one is about Docker Compose!
This post is mostly just about how delighted I was that it does what its supposed to do and it seems to work and to be pretty straightforward to use. Im also only talking about using Docker Compose for a dev environment here, not using it in production.
Ive been thinking about this kind of personal dev environment setup more recently because I now do all my computing with a personal cloud budget of like $20/month instead of spending my time at work thinking about how to manage thousands of AWS servers.
Im very happy about this because previous to trying Docker Compose I spent two days getting frustrated with trying to set up a dev environment with other tools and Docker Compose was a lot easier and simpler. And then I told my sister about my docker-compose experiences and she was like “I KNOW, DOCKER COMPOSE IS GREAT RIGHT?!?!” So I thought Id write a blog post about it, and here we are.
### the problem: setting up a dev environment
Right now Im working on a Ruby on Rails service (the backend for a sort of computer debugging game). On my production server, I have:
* a nginx proxy
* a Rails server
* a Go server (which proxies some SSH connections with [gotty][2])
* a Postgres database
Setting up the Rails server locally was pretty straightforward without resorting to containers (I just had to install Postgres and Ruby, fine, no big deal), but then I wanted send `/proxy/*` to the Go server and everything else to the Rails server, so I needed nginx too. And installing nginx on my laptop felt too messy to me.
So enter `docker-compose`!
### docker-compose lets you run a bunch of Docker containers
Docker Compose basically lets you run a bunch of Docker containers that can communicate with each other.
You configure all your containers in one file called `docker-compose.yml`. Ive pasted my entire `docker-compose.yml` file here for my server because I found it to be really short and straightforward.
```
version: "3.3"
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- ./tmp/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password # yes I set the password to 'password'
go_server:
# todo: use a smaller image at some point, we don't need all of ubuntu to run a static go binary
image: ubuntu
command: /app/go_proxy/server
volumes:
- .:/app
rails_server:
build: docker/rails
command: bash -c "rm -f tmp/pids/server.pid && source secrets.sh && bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'"
volumes:
- .:/app
web:
build: docker/nginx
ports:
- "8777:80" # this exposes port 8777 on my laptop
```
There are two kinds of containers here: for some of them Im just using an existing image (`image: postgres` and `image: ubuntu`) without modifying it at all. And for some I needed to build a custom container image `build: docker/rails` says to use `docker/rails/Dockerfile` to build a custom container.
I needed to give my Rails server access to some API keys and things, so `source secrets.sh` puts a bunch of secrets in environment variables. Maybe theres a better way to manage secrets but its just me so this seemed fine.
### how to start everything: `docker-compose build` then `docker-compose up`
Ive been starting my containers just by running `docker-compose build` to build the containers, then `docker-compose up` to run everything.
You can set `depends_on` in the yaml file to get a little more control over when things start in, but for my set of services the start order doesnt matter, so I havent.
### the networking is easy to use
Its important here that the containers be able to connect to each other. Docker Compose makes that super simple! If I have a Rails server running in my `rails_server` container on port 3000, then I can access that with `http://rails_server:3000`. So simple!
Heres a snippet from my nginx configuration file with how Im using that in practice (I removed a bunch of `proxy_set_header` lines to make it more clear)
```
location ~ /proxy.* {
proxy_pass http://go_server:8080;
}
location @app {
proxy_pass http://rails_server:3000;
}
```
Or heres a snippet from my Rails projects database configuration, where I use the name of the database container (`db`):
```
development:
<<: *default
database: myproject_development
host: db # <-------- this "magically" resolves to the database container's IP address
username: postgres
password: password
```
I got a bit curious about how `rails_server` was actually getting resolved to an IP address. It seems like Docker is running a DNS server somewhere on my computer to resolve these names. Here are some DNS queries where we can see that each container has its own IP address:
```
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 rails_server
172.18.0.2
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 db
172.18.0.3
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 web
172.18.0.4
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 go_server
172.18.0.5
```
### whos running this DNS server?
I dug into how this DNS server is set up a very tiny bit.
I ran all these commands outside the container, because I didnt have a lot of networking tools installed in the container.
**step 1**: find the PID of my Rails server with `ps aux | grep puma`
Its 1837916. Cool.
**step 2**: find a UDP server running in the same network namespace as PID `1837916`
I did this by using `nsenter` to run `netstat` in the same network namespace as the `puma` process. (technically I guess you could run `netstat -tupn` to just show UDP servers, but my fingers only know how to type `netstat -tulpn` at this point)
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 netstat -tulpn
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.11:32847 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1333/dockerd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1837916/puma 4.3.7
udp 0 0 127.0.0.11:59426 0.0.0.0:* 1333/dockerd
```
So theres a UDP server running on port `59426`, run by `dockerd`! Maybe thats the DNS server?
**step 3**: check that its a DNS server
We can use `dig` to make a DNS query to it:
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 dig +short @127.0.0.11 59426 rails_server
172.18.0.2
```
But when we ran `dig` earlier, we werent making a DNS query to port 59426, we were querying port 53! Whats going on?
**step 4**: iptables
My first guess for “this server seems to be running on port X but Im accessing it on port Y, whats going on?” was “iptables”.
So I ran iptables-save in the containers network namespace, and there we go:
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 iptables-save
.... redacted a bunch of output ....
-A DOCKER_POSTROUTING -s 127.0.0.11/32 -p udp -m udp --sport 59426 -j SNAT --to-source :53
COMMIT
```
Theres an iptables rule that sends traffic on port 53 to 59426. Fun!
### it stores the database files in a temp directory
One nice thing about this is: instead of managing a Postgres installation on my laptop, I can just mount the Postgres containers data directory at `./tmp/db`.
I like this because I really do not want to administer a Postgres installation on my laptop (I dont really know how to configure Postgres), and conceptually I like having my dev database literally be in the same directory as the rest of my code.
### I can access the Rails console with `docker-compose exec rails_server rails console`
Managing Ruby versions is always a little tricky and even when I have it working, I always kind of worry Im going to screw up my Ruby installation and have to spend like ten years fixing it.
With this setup, if I need access to the Rails console (a REPL with all my Rails code loaded), I can just run:
```
$ docker-compose exec rails_server rails console
Running via Spring preloader in process 597
Loading development environment (Rails 6.0.3.4)
irb(main):001:0>
```
Nice!
### small problem: no history in my Rails console
I ran into a problem though: I didnt have any history in my Rails console anymore, because I was restarting the container all the time.
I figured out a pretty simple solution to this though: I added a `/root/.irbrc` to my container that changed the IRB history files location to be something that would persist between container restarts. Its just one line:
```
IRB.conf[:HISTORY_FILE] = "/app/tmp/irb_history"
```
### I still dont know how well it works in production
Right now my production setup for this project is still “I made a digitalocean droplet and edited a lot of files by hand”.
I think Ill try to use docker-compose to run this thing in production. My guess is that it should work fine because this service is probably going to have at most like 2 users at a time and I can easily afford to have 60 seconds of downtime during a deploy if I want, but usually something goes wrong that I havent thought of.
A few notes from folks on Twitter about docker-compose in production:
* `docker-compose up` will only restart the containers that need restarting, which makes restarts faster
* theres a small bash script [wait-for-it][3] that you can use to make a container wait for another service to be available
* You can have 2 docker-compose.yaml files: `docker-compose.yaml` for DEV, and `docker-compose-prod.yaml` for prod. I think Ill use this to expose different nginx ports: 8999 in dev and 80 in prod.
* folks seemed to agree that docker-compose is fine in production if you have a small website running on 1 computer
* one person suggested that Docker Swarm might be better for a slightly more complicated production setup, but I havent tried that (or of course Kubernetes, but the whole point of Docker Compose is that its super simple and Kubernetes is certainly not simple :) )
Docker also seems to have a feature to [automatically deploy your docker-compose setup to ECS][4], which sounds cool in theory but I havent tried it.
### when doesnt docker-compose work well?
Ive heard that docker-compose doesnt work well:
* when you have a very large number of microservices (a simple setup is best)
* when youre trying to include data from a very large database (like putting hundreds of gigabytes of data on everyones laptop)
* on Mac computers, Ive heard that Docker can be a lot slower than on Linux (presumably because of the extra VM). I dont have a Mac so I havent run into this.
### thats all!
I spent an entire day before this trying to configure a dev environment by using Puppet to provision a Vagrant virtual machine only to realize that VMs are kind of slow to start and that I dont really like writing Puppet configuration (I know, huge surprise :)).
So it was nice to try Docker Compose and find that it was straightforward to get to work!

Docker Compose搭建开发环境的好办法
======
大家好!我又写了一篇关于 [我最喜欢的电脑工具][1] 的文章。这一篇讲的是 Docker Compose
这篇文章主要就是讲一讲我对 Docker Compose 有多么满意啦(不讨论它的缺点)!咳咳,因为它总能够完成它该做的,并且似乎总能奏效,更棒的是,它使用起来还非常简单。另外,在本文中,我只讨论我是怎么用 Docker Compose 来搭建开发环境的,而不涉及它在生产中的使用。
最近,我考虑了很多关于这种搭建个人开发环境的方式,原因是,我现在把所有的计算工作都搬到了一个私有云上,大概 20 美元/月的样子。这样一来,我就不用在工作的时候花时间去思考应该如何管理几千台 AWS 服务器了。
在此之前我曾花了两天的时间尝试使用其他的工具来尝试搭建一个开发环境搭到后面我实在是心累了。相比起来Docker Compose 就简单易用多了,我非常满意。于是,我和妹妹分享了我的 `docker-compose` 使用经历,她略显惊讶:“是吧!你也觉得 Docker Compose 真棒对吧!” 嗯,我觉得我应该写一篇博文把过程记录下来,于是就有了你们看到的这篇文章。
### 我们的目标是:搭建一个开发环境
目前,我正在编写一个 Ruby on Rails 服务(它是一个计算机“调试”游戏的后端)。在我的生产服务器上,我安装了:
* 一个 Nginx 服务器
* 一个 Rails 服务
* 一个 Go 服务 (使用了 [gotty][2] 来代理一些 SSH 连接)
* 一个 Postgres 数据库
在本地搭建 Rails 服务非常简单,用不着容器(我只需要安装 Postgres 和 Ruby 就行了,小菜一碟)。但是,我还想要把匹配 `/proxy/*` 的请求的发送到 Go 服务,其他所有请求都发送到 Rails 服务,所以我还要用到 Nginx。问题来了在笔记本电脑上安装 Nginx 对我来说太麻烦了。
是时候使用 `docker-compose` 了!
### docker-compose 允许你运行一组 Docker 容器
基本上Docker Compose 的作用就是允许你运行一组可以互相通信 Docker 容器。
你可以在一个叫做 `docker-compose.yml` 的文件中,配置你所有的容器。下面,我将贴上我为这个服务编写的 `docker-compose.yml` 文件(的全部内容),因为我觉得它真的很简洁、直接!
```
version: "3.3"
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- ./tmp/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password # yes I set the password to 'password'
go_server:
# todo: use a smaller image at some point, we don't need all of ubuntu to run a static go binary
image: ubuntu
command: /app/go_proxy/server
volumes:
- .:/app
rails_server:
build: docker/rails
command: bash -c "rm -f tmp/pids/server.pid && source secrets.sh && bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'"
volumes:
- .:/app
web:
build: docker/nginx
ports:
- "8777:80" # this exposes port 8777 on my laptop
```
这个配置包含了两种容器。对于前面两个容器,我不加修改地使用了既有的镜像(`image: postgres` 和 `image: ubuntu`)。对于后面两个,我不得不构建一个自定义容器镜像,其中, `build: docker/rails` 的作用就是告诉 Docker Compose它应该使用 `docker/rails/Dockerfile` 来构建一个自定义容器。
我需要允许我的 Rails 服务访问一些 API 密钥和其他东西,因此,我使用了 `source secrets.sh`,它的作用就是在环境变量中预设一组密钥。
### 如何启动所有服务:先 “build” 后 “up”
我一直都是先运行 `docker-compose build` 来构建容器,然后再运行 `docker-compose up` 把所有服务启动起来。
你可以在 yaml 文件中设置 `depends_on`,这样你可以获得更多容器启动时的控制。不过,对于我的这些服务而言,启动顺序并不重要,所以我没有设置它。
### 使用网络通信也非常简单
有件很重要的事容器之间得能够互相连接才行。Docker Compose 让这件事变得超级简单!假设我有一个 Rails 服务正在名为 `rails_server` 的容器中运行,端口是 3000那么我就可以通过 `http://rails_server:3000` 来访问该服务。就是这么简单!
以下代码片段截取自我的 Nginx 配置文件,它是根据我的使用需求配置的(我删除了许多 `proxy_set_headers` 行,让它看起来更清楚):
```
location ~ /proxy.* {
proxy_pass http://go_server:8080;
}
location @app {
proxy_pass http://rails_server:3000;
}
```
或者,你也看下面这个代码片段,它截取自我的 Rails 项目的数据库配置,我在其中使用了数据库容器的名称(`db`
```
development:
<<: *default
database: myproject_development
host: db # <-------- 它会被神奇地解析为数据库容器的 IP 地址
username: postgres
password: password
```
至于 `rails_server` 究竟是如何被解析成一个 IP 地址的,我还真有点儿好奇。貌似是 Docker 在我的计算机上运行了一个 DNS 服务来解析这些名字。下面是一些 DNS 查询记录,我们可以看到,每个容器都有它自己的 IP 地址:
```
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 rails_server
172.18.0.2
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 db
172.18.0.3
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 web
172.18.0.4
$ dig +short @127.0.0.11 go_server
172.18.0.5
```
### 是谁在运行这个 DNS 服务?
我(稍微)研究了一下这个 DNS 服务是怎么搭建起来的。
以下所有命令都是在容器外执行的,因为我没有在容器里安装很多网络工具。
**第一步:**:使用 `ps aux | grep puma`,找到我的 Rails 服务的进程 ID。
找到了,它是 `1837916`!感觉不错哦~
**第二步:**:找到和 `1837916` 运行在同一个网络命名空间的 UDP 服务。
我使用了 `nsenter` 来在 `puma` 进程的网络命令空间内运行 `netstat`(理论上,我猜想你也可以使用 `netstat -tupn` 来只显示 UDP 服务,但此时,我的手指头只会打出 `netstat -tulpn`)。
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 netstat -tulpn
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.11:32847 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1333/dockerd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1837916/puma 4.3.7
udp 0 0 127.0.0.11:59426 0.0.0.0:* 1333/dockerd
```
我们可以看到,此时有一个运行在 `59426` 端口的 UDP 服务,它是由 `dockerd` 运行的!或许它就是我们要找的 DNS 服务?
**第三步**:确定它是不是我们要找的 DNS 服务
我们可以使用 `dig` 工具来向它发送一个 DNS 查询:
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 dig +short @127.0.0.11 59426 rails_server
172.18.0.2
```
奇怪,我们之前运行 `dig` 的时候DNS 查询怎么没有发送到 `59426` 端口,而是发送到了 `53` 端口呢?这到底是怎么回事呀?
**第四步**iptables
对于类似“这个服务似乎正运行在 X 端口上,但我却在 Y 端口上访问到了它,这是什么回事呢?”的问题,我的第一念头都是“一定是 iptables 在作怪”。
于是,我运行了容器的网络命令空间内运行了 `iptables-save`,果不其然,真相大白:
```
$ sudo nsenter -n -t 1837916 iptables-save
.... redacted a bunch of output ....
-A DOCKER_POSTROUTING -s 127.0.0.11/32 -p udp -m udp --sport 59426 -j SNAT --to-source :53
COMMIT
```
在输出中有一条 iptables 规则,它将 `53` 端口的流量发送到了 `59426` 上。哈哈,真有意思!
### 数据库文件储存在一个临时目录中
这样做有一个好处:我可以直接挂载 Postgres 容器的数据目录 `./tmp/db`,而不需要在我的笔记本电脑上管理 Postgres 环境。
我很喜欢这种方式,因为我真的不想在笔记本电脑上,亲自管理一个 Postgres 环境(我也真的不知道该如何配置 Postgres。还有就是出于习惯我更喜欢让开发环境的数据库和代码放在同一个目录下。
### 仅需一行命令,我就可以访问 Rails 控制台
管理 Ruby 的版本总是有点棘手,并且,即使我暂时搞定了它,我也总是有点担心自己会把 Ruby 环境搞坏,然后就要修它修个十年(夸张)。
(使用 Docker Compose搭建好这个开发环境后如果我需要访问 Rails <ruby>控制台<rt>console</rt></ruby>(一个交互式环境,加载了所有我的 Rails 代码),我只需要运行一行代码即可:
```
$ docker-compose exec rails_server rails console
Running via Spring preloader in process 597
Loading development environment (Rails 6.0.3.4)
irb(main):001:0>
```
好耶!
### 小问题Rails 控制台的历史记录丢失了
我碰到了一个问题Rails 控制台的历史记录丢失了,因为我一直在不断地重启它。
不过,我也找到了一个相当简单的解决方案(嘿嘿):我往容器中添加了一个 `/root/.irbrc` 文件,它能够把 IRB 历史记录文件的保存位置,修改到一个不受容器重启影响的地方。只需要一行代码就够啦:
```
IRB.conf[:HISTORY_FILE] = "/app/tmp/irb_history"
```
### 我还是不知道它在生产环境的表现会怎么样
到目前为止,这个项目的生产环境搭建进度,还停留在“我制作了一个 digitalocean dropletLCCT 译注:一种 Linux 虚拟机服务),并手工编辑了很多文件”的阶段。
嗯……我相信我以后会在生产环境中使用 docker-compose 来运行一下它的。我猜它能够会正常工作,因为这个服务很可能最多只有两个用户在使用,并且,如果我愿意,我可以容忍它在部署过程中有 60 秒的不可用时间。不过话又说回来,出错的往往是我想不到的地方。
推特网友提供了一些在生产中使用 docker-compose 的注意事项:
* `docker-compose up` 只会重启那些需要重启的容器,这会让重启速度更快。
* 有一个 Bash 小脚本 [wait-for-it][3],你可以用它来让一个容器保持等待,直到另一个容器的服务可用。
* 你可以准备两份 `docker-compose.yaml` 文件:用于开发环境的 `docker-compose.yaml` 和 用于生产环境的 `docker-compose-prod.yaml`。我想我会在分别为 Nginx 指定不同的端口:开发时使用 `8999`,生产中使用 `80`
* 人们似乎一致认为,如果你的项目是一台计算机上运行的小网站,那么 docker-compose 在生产中不会有问题。
* 有个人建议说如果愿意在生产环境搭建复杂那么一丢丢Docker Swarm 就或许会是更好的选择,不过我还没试过(当然,如果要这么说的话,干嘛不用 Kubernetes 呢Docker Compose 的意义就是它超级简单,而 Kubernetes 肯定不简单 :))。
Docker 似乎还有一个特性,它能够 [把你用 docker-compose 搭建的环境自动推送到弹性容器服务ESC上][4],听上去好酷的样子,但是我还没有试过。
### docker-compose 会有不适用的场景吗
我听说 docker-compose 在以下场景的表现差强人意:
* 当你有很多微服务的时候(还是自己搭建比较好)
* 当你尝试从一个很大的数据库中导入数据时(就像把几百 G 的数据存到每个人的笔记本电脑里一样)
* 当你在 Mac 电脑上运行 Docker 时。我听说 Docker 在 macOS 上比在 Linux 上要慢很多(我猜想是因为它需要做额外的虚拟化)。我没有 Mac 电脑,所以我还没有碰到这个问题。
### 以上就是全部内容啦!
在此之前,我曾花了一整天时间,尝试使用 Puppet 来配置 Vagrant 虚拟机,然后在这个虚拟机里配置开发环境。结果,我发现虚拟机启动起来实在是有点慢啊,还有就是,我也不喜欢编写 Puppet 配置(哈哈,没想到吧)。
幸好,我尝试了 Docker Compose它真好简单马上就可以开始工作啦
