Run docker-compose build in .gitlab-ci.yml

Question

I have a .gitlab-ci.yml file which contains following:

image: docker:latest

services:
  - docker:dind
         


        

Answer 1

I think most of the above are helpful, however i needed to collectively apply them to solve this problem, below is the script which worked for me

I hope it works for you too

Also note, in your docker compose this is the format you have to provide for the image name

///:

image:
  name: docker/compose:latest
  entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]

variables:
  DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2375/
  DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2

services:
  - docker:dind

stages:
- build_images

before_script:
  - docker version
  - docker-compose version
  - docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_JOB_TOKEN $CI_REGISTRY

build:
  stage: build_images
  script:
    - docker-compose down
    - docker-compose build
    - docker-compose push
