Docker-Compose not able to copy haproxy.cfg


My problem is that I have a docker-compose.yml file and an haproxy.cfg file and I want docker-compose to copy the haproxy.cfg file to the docker container. As per the post Docker composer copy files I can use volumes to do it but in my case I'm getting the below error. Can anybody help me achieve this.

Below is the code and everything

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.3"
services:
 ###After all services are up, we are initializing the gateway
 gateway:
  container_name: gateway-haproxy
  image: haproxy
  volumes:
    - .:/usr/local/etc/haproxy
  ports:
   - 80:80
  network_mode: "host"

Command output

root@ubuntu:/home/karunesh/Desktop/Stuff/SelfStudy/DevOps/docker# docker-compose up

Solution

  • Try this:

    volumes:
      - ./haproxy.cfg:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:ro
    

    Instead of mounting the whole directory, this will only mount haproxy.cfg. The ro is an abbreviation for read-only, and its usage guarantees the container won't modify it after it gets mounted.
