Support docker-compose

under review

Kai Marshland

I often write my apps with docker-compose to specify all the docker options. I would render to be able to read my docker-compose file, create all the services, and appropriately coordinate between them, as if I had simply run

docker-compose up

It better not, Docker Swarm Mode is the recommended way to use Docker in Production. Swarm is now integrated into the Docker Engine. It also uses a docker-compose.yml file, although it could be named anything, but it’s not like the past swarm.yml of the past Docker Swarm Classic. Swarm mode allows for clustering management, rolling updates, and load balancing. Compose can do some of these, especially associated with some nginx or Traefik, but it’s not made for this. Compose inspire the recommended way: Docker Swarm Mode. It’s been like that since 2016, eight years now that we in 2024, keep up with the news. Everything else is "deprecated".

Any updates on docker-compose support?

I have a blazor server project. And I want to integrate an API with docker compose (which makes requests to the database).. would there be another solution in render?

I want to use a open source application which relies on 3 apps , nginx, postgres, core app, for this it uses docker compose, I want to deploy it on render by creating an image but modified it to directly use render postgres but removing nginx dependency is very complex.

it would be great if we could directly depoly using compose.

Ok are we joking. We've gone all in on render and now we're getting stuffed around on this?? 350 votes, been here since 2019. Time to start looking for alternative services. Really really disappointed. You folks were meant to make life easier not harder.

dev: if you're already using Render, you might be using Blueprints too. How and where would you like Render to support docker-compose in your workflow?

Anurag Goel - please. Implement this. docker-compose.yml is far superior to a a docker file. Converting it to a render.yml file seems like a great idea as it's probably straightforward for simple setups, which will be the vast majority of people here.

Are the following docs updated to convert to

render.yaml

https://render.com/docs/blueprint-spec

Jude Davis

Yes, would be very useful!!

We need docker-compose, or atleast some support to convert our docker-compose to deploy ready on render.
