⁠How to use this image

⁠Image specific details

Cloud Containers usually follow a standardised directory structure, and have a set of ports that are exposed to access the services running within them.

⁠Exposing ports

To interact with your container, you can expose the ports that your container's services are listening on.

For this image, you can add the following to your Docker compose file to expose the ports:

ports: []

⁠Directory structure

Usually your Cloud Container image will depend on files mounted on the Cloud Container server, we've included all of these essential files in the image for ease of use.

For this image, you can add one or all of the following volumes to your Docker compose file:

volumes:
- ./config:/container/config
- ./logs:/container/logs
- ./application:/container/application
- ./crontabs:/cron

Depending on which volume you choose, you will want to copy the contents out of the container, onto your local machine. This will ensure you have any files that are required for your application to run.

docker cp {container_name}:/container/config ./config
