Open documentation needs updating about astronomer HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @pedromachados, we'll be updating the docs soon. We are in the process of moving some of this functionality to our CLI, but that's under very active development at this point.

For now, running something like docker-compose --scale worker=2 or just plain docker-compose up is the way to go.

To run a custom image, you can change to the directory of your project and just run something like docker build -t mycompany/airflow:latest .. If you've previously worked with the project in this directory it should have a Dockerfile with FROM astronomerinc/ap-airflow:latest-onbuild. If that file does not exist, you can simply create it.

Now that you have a base image, you can change the values inside the .env file next to the docker-compose.yaml file. You should be able to change IMAGE_NAME, to whatever you named it before (mycompany/airflow), and set AIRFLOW_HOME to path to your actual project. This will mount several directories from the image to the host so you can hack on your python code without restarting the docker-compose project. You will have to restart if you add anything to packages.txt or requirements.txt though.

This was basically what the old start script did under the hood.

Hope that helps for now. @tedmiston and @andscoop can you guys help out with these docs and/or brainstorming any other ideas here?

^ One typo in the third command above — should be docker build ...

I'll update the docs in Open to reflect what Greg wrote.

@tedmiston ... only one other issue left, it's you vs. brad :)

Mostly working on Kafka today so he'll probably win that one. This one is end of day for me.
