Build an image using an external network

Note In order for the "vinnyfs89api" network to be visible when building a docker image, the "api_vinnyfs89api" value needs to be defined using the "build > network" parameter.

version: '3.4'

    user: root
    container_name: vinnyfs89.api-database

Docker Compose auto-scale

To specify how many containers to scale using docker-compose use the command --scale service = {number}.

# This command sets 5 containers for redis-service
docker-compose up -d --scale redis-service=5

# Example 2
docker-compose -f docker-compose-scale.yml up -d --scale hello=5

Using --add-host or extra_hosts with docker-compose ( or /etc/hosts )

...
  extra_hosts:
  - "somehost:162.242.195.82"
