Docker Compose

Shipyard parses all the data it needs from Compose services and volumes.

Supported service labels for all environments

The following labels are available on all environments (Shipyard-hosted or user-hosted), unless specified:

shipyard.init

Command to run before your service starts

Example:

shipyard.init: 'python manage.py db migrate'

Jobs

shipyard.job

Run this service as a Job

Example:

shipyard.job: true

shipyard.job.schedule

Example:

shipyard.job.schedule: '*/2 * * * *'

shipyard.job.*

Example:

cronjob:
labels:
shipyard.job: true
shipyard.job.schedule: '*/2 * * * *'

The command to be executed, formatted as a JSON array

Example:

shipyard.liveness.exec.command: '["bash", "some-script.sh"]'

The number of probe attempts before the container is restarted

Example:

shipyard.liveness.failure_threshold: 1

shipyard.liveness.http.headers

JSON string of headers to include with your probes

Example:

shipyard.liveness.http.headers: '{"x-reason": "health"}'

shipyard.liveness.timeout_seconds

The number of seconds after which the probe times out

shipyard.liveness.timeout_seconds: 10

Primary route

shipyard.primary-route

If enabled, this service's URL will be the primary URL for the environment (useful for multi-domain environments)

Example:

shipyard.primary-route: true 

Readiness

The command to be executed, formatted as a JSON array

Example:

shipyard.readiness.exec.command: '["bash", "some-script.sh"]'

shipyard.readiness.failure_threshold

The number of probe attempts before the container is considered unready and stops receiving traffic

Example:

shipyard.readiness.failure_threshold: 1

shipyard.readiness.http.headers

JSON string of headers to include with your probes

Example:

shipyard.readiness.http.headers: '{"x-reason": "health"}'

shipyard.readiness.http.path

The GET path the probe should hit

Example:

shipyard.readiness.http.path: /healthz

shipyard.readiness.initial_delay

The number of seconds to wait before starting probes

Example:

shipyard.readiness.initial_delay: 10

shipyard.readiness.period

The number of seconds between probes

Example:

shipyard.readiness.period: 15

shipyard.readiness.success_threshold

The number of consecutive successes for the probe to be considered successful after having failed

Example:

shipyard.readiness.success_threshold: 1

shipyard.readiness.timeout_seconds

The number of seconds after which the probe times out

Example:

shipyard.readiness.timeout_seconds: 10 

Routing

shipyard.route

Send HTTP requests with this prefix to this service's first defined container port

Example:

shipyard.route: '/'

shipyard.route.{{ path_of_route }}

Specify any number of named routes

Example:

shipyard.route.api: '/api'

shipyard.route.oauth.redirect-uri1

The callback path the Callback Gateway should send requests to

Example:

shipyard.route.oauth.redirect-uri: /callback/oauth/github

shipyard.route.oauth.{{ name }}.redirect-uri1

To specify any number of callback paths for Callback Gateway

Example:

shipyard.route.oauth.google.redirect-uri: /callback/oauth/google

shipyard.route.rewrite1

If enabled, prepend the shipyard.route path prefix to requests that don't have it

Example:

shipyard.route.rewrite: true

1 Not supported on Launch Environments

shipyard.host.{{ name }}

In addition to the default URL generated for a service, expose any number of additional URLs (with optional named route and port defined), formatted as a JSON string.

OptionsData typeDescriptionDefault
prefixStr - ReqMust start and end with an alphanumeric character, can contain hyphensn/a
routeStr - OptMust be a valid route beginning with /, with no query parametersshipyard.route label value
portInt - OptMust be exposed in the Compose definitionFirst exposed port in Compose service

Examples:

shipyard.host.api: '{ "prefix": "api" }'

Creates an additional URL prepended with api- mapped to the service's default route (specified by shipyard.route label) and first defined container port.

ex: api-flask-pr1.dev.docker.shipyard.host


shipyard.host.api-with-route: '{ "prefix": "api", "route": "/api/v1" }'

Creates an additional URL prepended with api- and named route /api/v1. Uses the first defined container port as a port is not specified.

ex: api-flask-pr1.dev.docker.shipyard.host/api/v1


shipyard.host.api-with-port: '{ "prefix": "api", "port": 9090 }'

Creates an additional URL prepended with api- mapped to the defined port on the service. Uses the default route as a named rotue is not specified.

ex: api-flask-pr1.dev.docker.shipyard.host


shipyard.host.api-with-route-and-port: '{ "prefix": "api", "route": "/api/v1", "port": 9090 }'

Creates an additional URL prepended with api- mapped to the defined named route and port on the service.

ex: api-flask-pr1.dev.docker.shipyard.host/api/v1

Supported service labels for Launch Environments (User-cloud Environments)

The following labels are only available when deploying environments to a user's cloud:

CloudSQL

shipyard.cloudsql.sidecar

If enabled, start this container with a GCP CloudSQL sidecar

Example:

shipyard.cloudsql.sidecar: true

Deploying

shipyard.deploy.disk.size

Allocate a disk of the specified size to serve as this volume

Example:

shipyard.deploy.disk.size: 10Gi

Lifecycle

shipyard.lifecycle.postStart.exec.command

Command to run on Kubernetes post-start event (as JSON string)

Example:

shipyard.lifecycle.postStart.exec.command: '["sh", "/srv/poststart.sh"]'

shipyard.lifecycle.preStop.exec.command

Command to run on Kubernetes pre-stop event (as JSON string)

Example:

shipyard.lifecycle.preStop.exec.command: '["sh", "/srv/prestop.sh"]'

Security context

shipyard.securityContext

Direct definition of Kubernetes security context (as JSON string)

Example:

shipyard.securityContext: '{"capabilities": {"add": ["SYS_ADMIN"]}}'

Pod anti-affinity

shipyard.remote.podAntiAffinity

Encourages replicas within the same deployment to schedule on different nodes.

Example:

shipyard.remote.podAntiAffinity: true

Pods have a label component: {{ .deploymentName }}, so this sets a k8s anti-affinity deployment spec like so:

affinity:
podAntiAffinity:
preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- weight: 75
podAffinityTerm:
topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname"
labelSelector:
matchExpressions:
- key: component
operator: In
values:
- {{ .deploymentName }}
