About Docker

Docker is the container platform — Docker Engine, Docker Desktop, Docker Hub registry, Docker Build Cloud for managed cloud builders, Docker Scout for image vulnerability scanning and supply-chain policy, Docker Compose for multi-container dev, and Docker Model Runner for local LLM inference. Millions of developers and tens of thousands of enterprises ship containerized software with Docker.

compose.yaml: web depends_on: [db]. App starts and crashes because Postgres isn't ready to accept connections yet.

Use long-form depends_on with condition: service_healthy and add a healthcheck to the db service (pg_isready or psql query). web waits for healthcheck pass, not just container start. Short-form depends_on only waits for container start, not readiness.

Developer wants source edits to sync into the running container without a rebuild. Currently runs 'docker compose up --build' after every change.

Add a develop.watch block: actions: sync (path: ./src, target: /app/src) and rebuild (path: ./package.json). Run 'docker compose up --watch'. Source edits stream into the container; package.json edits trigger rebuild. Per docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/file-watch/.

compose service needs a DB password. Currently passed via environment: { DB_PASS: 'changeme' } in committed compose.yaml.

Use top-level secrets: { db_pass: { file: ./db_pass.txt } } and the service references secrets: [db_pass]. Secret is mounted at /run/secrets/db_pass inside the container. App reads file at startup. Gitignore the secret file.
