Write a Docker Compose File
🐳 Docker Level 3 - Day 5: Write a Docker Compose File | Docker Series
Welcome to Day 5 of the Docker Level 3 Series! In this lab, you'll learn how to use Docker Compose to define and deploy a containerized Apache HTTP Server with port and volume mappings.
📌 Lab Objective:
Create a Docker Compose configuration that deploys an Apache web server container, exposes it through a custom host port, and serves website content from a host directory.
🛠️ Task Requirements:
Docker Host:
🔹 App Server 2 (stapp02)
Compose File:
🔹 /opt/docker/docker-compose.yml
Container Details:
🔹 Container Name: httpd
🔹 Image: httpd
Port Mapping:
🔹 Host Port: 8083
🔹 Container Port: 80
Volume Mapping:
🔹 Host Path: /opt/finance
🔹 Container Path: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
Requirements:
🔹 Deploy the container using Docker Compose
🔹 Do not modify existing website content
💻 What You’ll Configure & Verify:
🔹 Create Docker Compose files
🔹 Define services using YAML
🔹 Deploy containers with Docker Compose
🔹 Configure port mappings
🔹 Configure volume bindings
🔹 Serve static website content
🔹 Verify container status
🔹 Test web application accessibility
📚 What You’ll Learn:
Docker Compose
Container Orchestration
YAML Configuration
Port Mapping
Volume Mapping
Apache HTTP Server
Infrastructure as Code
Multi-Service Management
🌟 Why This Lab Matters:
Docker Compose simplifies container deployment by allowing infrastructure configurations to be defined as code. It is widely used for application development, testing, and managing containerized workloads in a consistent and repeatable manner.
