Buildkite Docker Compose Pipeline Example

This repository is an example Buildkite pipeline that runs a simple bash script, script.sh, using Docker Compose.

See the full Getting Started Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to get this running.

How it works

This example uses the Docker Compose plugin to:

  • Launch containers
  • Run script.sh, which prints output, includes an inline image, generates artifacts, and exits cleanly

This example is functionally similar to the bash example, but runs in a containerized environment.
