Error Deploying a docker-compose app on Kubernetes using Docker for Windows

Question

I am trying to run a docker-compose.yml file against kubernetes on Docker for Windows. I'm currently using the Edge version of Docker for Windows -- 18.03.0-ce-rc4 -- and I have kubernetes enabled.

I get the following error:

PS C:\dev\projects\python\kubetest> docker stack deploy --compose-file .\docker-compose.yml mystack
Ignoring unsupported options: build

In short, by following the documentation, I'm unable to get anything deployed to kubernetes on Docker for Windows.

Answer 1

Due to the lack of support for a build there would be no image to run for the web service containers.

Compose can manage the build for you on a single Docker host. As Swarm and Kubernetes are normally run across multiple nodes, an image should reference a registry available on the network so all nodes can access the same image.

Build the image externally

docker-compose build web

Try this and see if it works.
