Docker-compose

Docker-compose is one of the methods to create components within [bunnyshell.yaml](environment-definition).

Adding components from a docker-compose.yaml file is straightforward, and it will create one of the 3 environment component types, depending on what's being added.

📘

Important note

The conversion from docker-compose.yaml to bunnyshell.yaml is one-time and one-way.

When the docker-compose.yaml file is being added to the environment, it is parsed and the corresponding bunnyshell.yaml contents is generated, and from that point on, the management of the components will be performed solely from bunnyshell.yaml.

Updating docker-compose.yaml will NOT automatically update bunnyshell.yaml.

 

Essentially, all 3 kinds operate the same way, with the exception that some room for specific developments was left for Databases (with regards to seeding, for example).

Applications and Services differ only semantically, but operate identically.

Application

Applications are used for (you guessed it...) applications. They are designed to be used for pieces of software in your stack which are written by you and need to be built.
They are translated from docker-compose services with an image to be built, and must not fall into the Database conditions.

Database

A component will be categorised as a Database if:

• the name of the image or the name of the docker-compose service contains one of mysql, percona, mariadb, sql, postgre, mongo, clickhouse, database
• it exposes one of the ports 3306, 27017, 5432, 5433, 8123
• the name of the docker-compose service contains

Service

Services are designed to be used for pieces of software in your stack which are not written by you. A Service is a component translated from docker-compose which is nor Database nor Application.

 

Resources

Docker-compose resources are fully managed by Bunnyshell.

For each component, Bunnyshell creates the needed Kubernetes resources, for example:

• dockerCompose.environment will create a Kubernetes ConfigMap
• dockerCompose.ports will create a KubernetesService
• hosts will create a Kubernetes Ingress

Resource cleanup

When updating/changing the Component, some resources may need to disappear, eg. removing all exposed ports will result in the associated Kubernetes Service to disappear.

The platform adds a label (app.bunnyshell.com/deploy-version) on each resource with every deployment. After a deployment is completed, resources which have a different value for app.bunnyshell.com/deploy-version will be deleted.

Resources not managed by Bunnyshell (not having the app.kubernetes.io/instance-${componentName}=bns label) will be left untouched.
