To build and start the project using Docker and Docker Compose, follow these detailed steps. Ensure that your environment is properly set up with Docker and Docker Compose.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Begin by cloning the repository to your local machine. Use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/docker/compose.git
cd compose

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Ensure all required dependencies are installed. You can use the Makefile target check-dependencies to verify and install any missing dependencies.

make check-dependencies

Step 3: Build the Project

Use the build target in the Makefile to compile the Go code. This will create the necessary binaries for the project.

make build

Alternatively, for a full build including vendor handling, utilize build-and-e2e-compose:

make build-and-e2e-compose

This command will build the project and run end-to-end tests with Docker Compose.

Step 4: Start Services with Docker Compose

To start the project, use the e2e-compose target, which will pull up all necessary services defined in the appropriate Docker Compose files.

make e2e-compose

If you need to run in standalone mode (without the full end-to-end setup), use:

make e2e-compose-standalone

Step 5: Validate the Build

Optionally, you can validate the project and its dependencies using the validate and validate-go-mod targets. This is crucial to ensure everything is properly set up and no issues exist with the Go module dependencies.

make validate
make validate-go-mod

Step 6: Run Tests

To execute the test suite, use the test target. This will ensure that all unit tests are passing.

make test

To generate coverage reports alongside the tests, use:

make binary-with-coverage

Step 7: Stopping Services

To stop all running services initiated by Docker Compose, you can use:

docker-compose down

This command will gracefully stop and remove all containers defined in the Docker Compose configuration.

Step 8: Additional Commands

Refer to the Makefile for additional targets that may be relevant depending on your workflow. You can see all available commands with the following command:

make help

Utilizing the various targets from the Makefile allows for a customizable build and run process tailored to specific project requirements.

Summary of Commands

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies:

   make check-dependencies
   

3. Build the project:

   make build
   

4. Start services:

   make e2e-compose
   

5. Validate the build:

   make validate
   

6. Run tests:

   make test
   

Using these steps and commands, the project can be efficiently built and started.
