Consider you are building multiple containers with networking using docker-compose and for some reason you want to do the same thing in vagrant, how can it be done?
Here is a example:
First the working docker-compose setup. In this example we will build docker containers formysql andphpmyadmin.phpmyadmin will be connected to themysql container instance with in the same network.
version: '3.7'services: db: image: mysql:5.7.36 restart: always environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root MYSQL_DATABASE: test_db ports: - "3308:3306" phpmyadmin: image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin:latest restart: always environment: PMA_HOST: db PMA_USER: root PMA_PASSWORD: root ports: - "8080:80"Lets do the same thing invagrant.
# -*- mode: ruby -*-# vi: set ft=ruby :# This file works exactly like the docker-compose.yml file.Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.network :private_network, type: "dhcp" config.vm.define "mysql" do |db| # Without prot forwardign vagrant entwork doesnt work db.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3306, host: 3306 db.vm.hostname = "mysqldb" db.vm.provider "docker" do |d| d.image = "mysql:5.7.36" d.env = { :MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD => "root", :MYSQL_DATBASE => "test_db" } d.remains_running = "true" end end config.vm.define "phpmyadmin" do |pa| pa.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080 pa.vm.hostname = "phpmyadmin" pa.vm.provider "docker" do |d| d.image = "phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin:latest" d.env = { :PMA_HOST => "mysqldb", :PMA_USER => "root", :PMA_PASSWORD => "root", # Without specifying the specific port phpmyadmin container doesn't work :PMA_PORT => "3306", } d.remains_running = "true" end endendUnlikedocker-compose it is not possible to set a direct dependency invagrant. But it is possible to do a sequential build by setting the option--no-parallel eg:-vagrant up --no-parallel.
Even thoughdocker-compose has the dependency set, the dependency is only to the extent of waiting for the dependent container to be built but not waiting for the services in the container to be up and running.
Hence even after building sequentially invagrant, the dependent services failed to connect. It did not mattervagrant ordocker-compose. Services with in the containers need to wait for their dependent services to be up.
So I added a delay in the dependent containers in a timed loop, the dependent service will attempt to connect and upon failure will wait for 30 seconds to connect again, after 10 attempts it gives up.
