[Help] Config and docker-compose

Hey guys !

I’m using docker-compose for my mysql server, but I’m quite annoyed by having connection configuration in two different places: docker-compose.yml ormconfig.json

Would you have some ideas how to keep the connection in only one place ?

@jcloutz you can also load the .env file within docker-compose using env_file instead of enumerating each value:

version: '3.1'

services:
  pgsql:
    image: postgres:9
    ports:
      - ${TYPEORM_PORT}:5432
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - pg_data:/var/lib/postgres/data

volumes:
  pg_data:

You don’t need to do that with docker-compose, it loads the .env file automatically. https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/#the-env-file
