Specify a docker-compose.yml file for balena deploy

Is it possible to specify one or more docker-compose.yml files to balena deploy?

For example with docker it’s possible to do:

docker-compose -f a.yml

Or you can use multiple like:

docker-compose -f a.yml -f b.yml

And it will merge them.

Is this possible with balena deploy also?

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It doesn’t look like this is a feature, currently. I’ve opened an issue which you can track here if you wish: User would like to be able to specify multiple docker-compose files which are combined · Issue #2392 · balena-io/balena-cli · GitHub

Regards,
Christina

+1 on this issue. We’re currently using the default “docker-compose.yml” file for Balena, and a “docker-compose.local.yml” file for testing locally. It would be great for the Balena CLI to confirm to the same syntax as docker-compose and allow the file to be overridden with -f.

Thanks for letting us know - I’ve logged it into our system but the best place to keep track is the GH issue above.
