docker-compose image named: “prefix_%s_1” instead of “%s”

Question

When I set up a couple of Docker containers in docker-compose.yaml file with links, the name of the containers ends up being of the format prefix_%s_1

Answer 1

You could just set container name to what you want via container_name:

redis:
    build: ../storage/redis
    container_name: redis
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

And container hostname could also be set via hostname.
