compose.yaml

redis:
    image: 'redislabs/redismod'
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'
  web1:
    restart: on-failure
    build: ./web
    hostname: web1
    ports:
      - '81:5000'
  web2:
    restart: on-failure
    build: ./web
    hostname: web2
    ports:
      - '82:5000'
  nginx:
    build: ./nginx
    ports:
    - '80:80'
    depends_on:
    - web1
    - web2

The compose file defines an application with four services redis, nginx, web1 and web2. When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 80 of the nginx service container to port 80 of the host as specified in the file.

ℹ️ INFO
Redis runs on port 6379 by default. Make sure port 6379 on the host is not being used by another container, otherwise the port should be changed.

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d

 ⠿ Container nginx-nodejs-redis-nginx-1  Started

Expected result

Listing containers must show three containers running and the port mapping as below:

docker-compose ps

Testing the app

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:80 in your web browser or run:

curl localhost:80
curl localhost:80
web1: Total number of visits is: 1
curl localhost:80
web1: Total number of visits is: 2
$ curl localhost:80
web2: Total number of visits is: 3

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down
