docker compose - ignore build context path












0















I have docker-compose.yml file with build context property specified like this:



version: '3'
services:
my-service:
container_name: my-service
image: my-service
build:
context: foo
ports:
- 8088:8088

# other services


When I run docker-compose up locally, build context does exist and everything works fine. However, my CI server is configured to use the same docker-compose.yml file but there is no build context (images are copied as .tar archive via SSH and then loaded via docker load).
Now I've got an error:




ERROR: build path /foo either does not exist, is not accessible, or is
not a valid URL.




So I've tried to find a way to suppress looking for this build context when running docker-compose up (I don't want to build images cause they are already up-to-date), but docker-compose up --no-build does not work. Any ideas?

  • just give set it to an empty dir if you want to avoid setting it to .. But the directory must exists thats why (amongst other reasons) a common practice to create a docker dir in the project root, and move the Docerfile into it. Then build in the docker directory which will be an empty context.

  • But the point is that I don't want to modify docker-compose.yml file. This file is copied from repository to CI server, so I don't want to change it (I would have to use some regex probably). Alternatively, I can maintain two separate compose files, but I'd like to avoid it if it's unnecessary

    Did you try to add a foo directory in your root of a repo with am empty .keep or Readme file in it which explains why the empty dir is necessary.

  • On CI server there is no foo directory. There is just .tar archive with docker image
