If you are using docker-compose there is no need to specify network because that will be done automagic.
This was a great tutorial, thank you very much!

[yaghiyahbrenner]

wow, your tutorial is super impressive. subscribed.

@22:51 I believe you use the service name, not container name. So in your example, you should use “db”

is there a part 3? looks like cut in the middle. I would like to see this working. after all the long process, you did not show the final result, cicd in action: pushing a change to github, docker image being generated and pushed to docker-hub, watchdog reacting to the new image, downloading the new version, recreating the docker images... lots of moving parts, and as far as I can see, none of those were demonstrated or checked to be working. why?

Thanks a lot for this video. I’m spending the night setting my first docker app on DO :D

[DevOpsDirective]

Note: If on windows 10, don’t use putty as suggested in the video, use WSL2 (Windows subsystem Linux).

[agelosnm]

Thanks, how to set up cron jobs for old image removal after watchtower run as you mentioned in the lecture?

[aghileslounis]

thx for the video, can i get the cronjob ? or whatever it is to delete old images each day or so ? i have no idea how to do that
And i have another question about the database, with this setup i think it will reset each time a new container is pushed no ? like how can we restore the database or get a copy somewhere to never loose the data?

[DucTra]

Could you explain at 22:37, how to setup those env_file pls?

Hello,

I was looking at your video channel. We may be helping a company that uses secure images to increase supply chain security and help cloud native development. Would you be willing to help try their software, make a video, and help show devs how to use their tools?

This is not an offer, but just to start a conversation about your willingness to take on sponsorship. Please provide me with your email if you are interested.

You'd have a chance to look at their technology and decide if it's the type of software that you'd be interested in covering in your channel.
