Docker Compose

Description

This Ansible role manages Docker Compose project structures and workflows for applications on Arch Linux. It creates dedicated instance directories, manages .env and docker-compose.yml files, and provides automation logic for project reset, rebuild, and startup sequences.

Refer to the Docker Compose documentation, the Arch Wiki – Docker, and Compose CLI reference for more details.

Overview

This role creates a flexible directory layout for managing Docker Compose projects across environments. It ensures directories are initialized, optionally reset, and kept clean using internal flags like mode_reset or mode_cleanup.

Purpose

To offer a centralized, extensible system for managing containerized applications using Docker Compose within the CyMaIS architecture. The role allows easy integration of services, secrets, configurations, and custom behaviors per application.

Features

  • Dynamic Directory Structure: Creates per-application instance folders for Compose setups.

  • Reset Logic: Cleans previous Compose project files and data when mode_reset is enabled.

  • Handlers for Runtime Control: Automatically builds, sets up, or restarts containers based on handlers.

  • Template-ready Service Files: Predefined service base and health check templates.

  • Integration Support: Compatible with nginx-docker-reverse-proxy and other CyMaIS service roles.
