Docker wait for postgresql to be running
This will successfully wait for Postgres to start. (Specifically line 6). Just replace npm start
with whatever command you'd like to happen after Postgres has started.
services:
practice_docker:
image: dockerhubusername/practice_docker
ports:
- 80:3000
command: bash -c 'while !</dev/tcp/db/5432; do sleep 1; done; npm start'
depends_on:
- db
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@db:5432/practicedocker
- PORT=3000
db:
image: postgres
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
- POSTGRES_DB=practicedocker
I've spent some hours investigating this problem and I got a solution.
Docker depends_on
just consider service startup to run another service. Than it happens because as soon as db
is started, service-app tries to connect to ur db
, but it's not ready to receive connections. So you can check db
health status in app service to wait for connection. Here is my solution, it solved my problem. :)
Important: I'm using docker-compose version 2.1.
version: '2.1'
services:
my-app:
build: .
command: su -c "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
db:
condition: service_healthy
links:
- db
volumes:
- .:/app_directory
db:
image: postgres:10.5
ports:
- "5432:5432"
volumes:
- database:/var/lib/postgresql/data
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
interval: 5s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
volumes:
database:
In this case it's not necessary to create a .sh file. I hope it helps you guys ;) cya
