docker-api-to-compose v0.2.0

docker-api-to-compose

Generate docker-compose files from Docker API inspect output.

Features

• Accepts JSON data from docker API v1.37
• Generates v3.3 docker-compose.yml files

Usage

// TODO: Is this line correct?
import { compose, getNetworkIds, getVolumeNames } from 'docker-api-to-compose';

const services = getServicesInStack('MyCoolStack');

const networkIds = getNetworkIds(services);
const networks = inspectNetworks(networkIds);

const volumeNames = getVolumeNames(services);
const volumes = inspectVolumes(volumes);

const stackFile = compose(services, networks, volumes);

Testing Process

The tests were developed using the following process: 1. Writing test_x.yml 2. docker stack deploy -c test_x.yml test_x 3. curl --no-buffer -XGET --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/v1.37/services/test_x_MyServiceName | python -m json.tool --> test_x.json 4. curl --no-buffer -XGET --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/v1.37/networks/text_x_default | python -m json.tool --> test_x_net.json - Repeat for other networks 5. curl --no-buffer -XGET --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/v1.37/volumes/test_x_volumeName | python -m json.tool --> test_x_vol.json - Repeat for other volumes 6. npm run test

A More automated method (that requires root) could be 1. Write test_x_src.yml file to be used for deploying 2. Write test_x.yml to be used as expected output 3. Deploy test_x_src.yml 4. Use a script to get related networks and services 5. Compose stack file 6. Compare stack files

Things that are not so great

• Expected yml requires specific order of keys
• Expected yml tests multiple functions
