Override configuration

Because the ece-docker build:compose command in the ece-tools package overwrites the base configuration, we recommend saving your customizations in an override configuration file. You can use this method to merge multiple custom configurations. See Docker Docs: Multiple Compose files.

The docker-compose up command considers the base docker-compose.yml configuration by default. If the docker-compose.override.yml file is present, then the override configuration merges with the base configuration.

Use the -f argument to specify an alternate configuration file. The following example uses the default configuration and merges each custom configuration sequentially:

1
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-custom.yml [-f more-custom-docker-compose.yml] up
