Docker Compose Build is not working

Question

I am trying to run my Node.js app in Docker. I use docker-compose to build different services. For me, basic sudo docker-compose --verbose build is not working.

docker-compose.yml

version: '2'
services:

  web:
    build: .
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    volumes:
      - ./atatus-dev/:/usr/src/app

Dockerfile

FROM node:0.10

After running this command docker-compose --verbose build, I can see following in the console.

Console Logs

compose.config.config.find: Using configuration files: ./docker-compose.yml

compose.cli.verbose_proxy.proxy_callable: docker build <- (pull=False, stream=True, nocache=False, tag=u'vagrant_web', buildargs=None, rm=True, forcerm=False, path='/home/vagrant', dockerfile=None)

After this prints, nothing happens. The build process stays there continuously.

I use following versions.

docker-compose version 1.8.0, build f3628c7
Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638

Could you please tell what is wrong with this configurations?

Answer 1

I have just had an issue that looked quite similar to yours with docker-compose build today, and in my case the problem (being stuck without any error or anything happening on the command line) was due to the large build context sent to docker (apparently it is completely silent about that). Once I have added proper entries in a .dockerignore file (to effectively filter out big subdirectories present in my workspace), the problem went away.

Answer 2

i had this issue and adding .dockerignore didnt work, then using docker compose up --build solved it.
