Make any service optional - select which container to start about devilbox HOT 7 CLOSED

I added an example of a workaround which shows how to disable a service.

version: '2.1'
services: 
  pgsql: #example that disables a service
    image: alpine
    entrypoint: []

Something I am still trying to find a solution for.
The docker-compose.yml file does not have conditions and i still don't know a good way for how to get this working. This would obviously the ultimate goal ;-)

@GiorgosK

Selectively loading docker containers is not possible due to the limitations of docker-compose.
I have however separated the container loading into two types:

1. Base stack (httpd, php, mysql and postgresql)
2. Optional stack (all of the above and redis (others coming soon).

This will be enabled by PR #44

@GiorgosK @jpuck

I finally found a way to make it optional.

Instead of having to define multiple docker-compose.xxx.yml files, there will be only one docker-compose.yml and you can choose during startup via the following examples:

# Load all
$ docker-compose up

# Load only httpd and php
$ docker-compose up httpd php

# Load httpd, php, mysql and redis
$ docker-compose up httpd php mysql redis

However, for this to work, there is going to be some rewrite necessary. Hope I can get this merged soon.

Edit: Going to adjust the title for better searchability

@GiorgosK Now fixed in new release

@keithy there's no need to comment out a specific service as you can simply specify in the startup-command which of the services you want to spin up.

docker-compose up httpd php bind mysql

Understood, just offering an alternative.
