Docker Compose

docker-compose

Use docker-compose for orchestration only

The orchestration (or composition) that is defined by some docker-compose.yml MUST NOT contain the build:-statement, but only image:-lines.

Using build: would start (implicitly) a docker-build, that most likely require a completly different environment
than the runtime settings.

See image online documentation and build online documentation

Move environment settings to separate file

Environment settings like username, api-id, ... MUST NOT be stored as part of the general sourcecode. One convenient feature of docker-compose is the env-file:- statement that includes a simple key/value file that can be persisted separatly. See env-file online documentation
