Continuous Deployment for Node with docker-compose

This image packs what is typically necessary for deploying services using node and adds docker compose for e2e and integration tests.

Limitations: The docker-compose.yml can't mount volumes. Since we'll be using a docker-in-docker approach, i.e. running docker-compose inside a docker container, the DOCKER_HOST of the inner container is the same of the most outter container. In other words, when assembling the volumes of your docker-compose, Docker will look for directories on the host machine, not in the container.

Example Circle CI configuration

version: 2
jobs:
  integration-tests:
    docker:
      - image: escaletech/node-with-docker-compose
    steps:
      - checkout
      - setup_remote_docker
      - attach_workspace:
          at: /tmp/workspace
      - run: docker-compose up test_ci
