Beyond Docker Compose
- fpoling 10y agoThe article talks about docker-compose deficiencies and how a new tool is going to solve then. One of the premises is that managing a huge application with docker-compose is difficult. But I just do not see how writing XML-based config on top of compose files can simplify things. If docker-compose is complex due to repeated volume, network and port declarations, I can just replace it, for example, with a shell script that generate the compose file and that will use much denser and clear notations. As a bonus this avoids introducing yet another template language on top of the compose files just so the tool can adjust them according to XML config.
