How to change docker-compose.yml on deploy to test or production

[clebersantz]

When deploying doodba, how change the syslink of docker-compose.yml from devel.yaml to test.yaml or prod.yaml ?

I´m forcing ln -s test.yaml docker-compose.yml during the deploy to test environment, this is the correct approach ? What is the best pratice with doodba to tell docker witch file should be used ?

Yes, linking in docker-compose.yml the corresponding environment file is one of the options. The other is to run with the parameter -f <env>.yaml.

But I don't understand why you need to "relink" things. Why deploy with prod/test with the same built image, and devel is for local machines.

[clebersantz]

Well, maybe that's my misunderstanding.

I create my doodba project locally and push it to my git repository.

After running copier I get everything set correct and the devel environment working fine.

Then, I clone the repository to my VPS test machine, but when I clone/pull it the docker-compose.yml is still linked to devel.yaml. So I need to relink it to test.yaml file.

Sorry, but I´m new to doodba ;)

If you have populated the doodba-copier-template through copier and use invoke develop, docker-compose.yml is excluded of git:

https://github.com/Tecnativa/doodba-copier-template/blob/main/.gitignore#L7

so what you say shouldn't happen unless you have touched the scaffolding.

ok, I see your point! I will try to recreate everything again from zero to see if it works.

but I haven´t change .gitignore

# Ignore all src directories except private and files with a dot
/odoo/auto
/odoo/custom/src/*/
!/odoo/custom/src/private/

# Ignore docker-compose.yml and overrides by default, to allow easy defaults per clone
/docker-compose.yml
/docker-compose.override.yml

# Compiled formats, cache, temporary files, git garbage
**.~
**.mo
**.py[co]
**.egg-info
**.orig

Then docker-compose.yml shouldn't be included in your commit. Maybe you force it to include it?
