docker-compose-manager_skill

Overview

This skill manages docker-compose projects to start, stop, restart, view logs, scale services, and build images. It provides simple JSON-driven commands for common multi-container workflows and charges 0.001 USDT per call via SkillPay. The interface is designed for quick automation in development, testing, and lightweight production scenarios.

How this skill works

Send a JSON payload indicating the action (up, down, restart, logs, scale, build) and the target compose file. The skill runs the corresponding docker-compose command, captures success state, service list, and output messages, and returns a JSON result. It supports detached starts, building images before up, scaling replicas for named services, and streaming or tailing logs.

When to use it

• Bring a multi-container application up or down during development.
• Restart services after configuration or code changes.
• Scale specific services to simulate load or increase capacity.
• Collect logs from one or more services for debugging.
• Automate CI/CD steps that require compose lifecycle actions.

Best practices

• Specify an explicit compose file path to avoid default-file confusion.
• Use detached mode for long-running starts and check returned service list.
• Build images before up when local Dockerfile changes are present.
• Limit log tails and time ranges to avoid large responses.
• Confirm service names before scaling to prevent unintended replicas.

Example use cases

• Start a development stack: {"action":"up","file":"docker-compose.yml","detached":true}.
• Restart services after updating environment variables: {"action":"restart","file":"docker-compose.yml"}.
• Scale web service to 5 replicas: {"action":"scale","file":"docker-compose.yml","service":"web","replicas":5}.
• Fetch recent logs from api service: {"action":"logs","file":"docker-compose.yml","service":"api","tail":200}.
• Build images before launch: {"action":"build","file":"docker-compose.yml"}.
