Can `--profile` be put in .env? #10

Closed rosiel closed 1 year ago

rosiel commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to break myself of thinking of commands in terms of docker compose build and docker compose up. unfortunately the --profile dev or --profile prod part has to be put before the command, and this causes a lot of backspacing and re-typing.

Is this something that could/should be put in .env so that we can run those commands without the profile part?

It can't be put into the .env file as it is a committed file, it doesn't really make sense to modify it for this purpose.

You can use the COMPOSE_PROFILES environment variable to prevent the need for retyping it all the time.

See https://docs.docker.com/compose/profiles/

For example, in bash.

export COMPOSE_PROFILES=dev

You could add the above line to your .bashrc file, so you don't have to write the above every time you create a new shell.

More info on .bashrc. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/bashrc-file-in-linux
