in directory called ringer i've created simple dockerfile install stuff , mount app... have never explicitly set name.
i used docker-compose.yml file define web , pointed @ dockerfile mentioned above.
when run docker images see following:
$ docker images repository tag image id created virtual size ringer_web latest bf9b931e1030 8 minutes ago 938.9 mb it looks docker named image's repository after local directory , image name... question is, how docker choose name image's repository? (and if applicable, why)
from docs:
compose_project_name
sets project name, prepended name of every container started compose. defaults basename of current working directory.
btw, not docker, docker-compose deciding on name. change it, set compose_project_name before running docker-compose:
compose_project_name=myprefix docker-compose
