    docker-compose ports vs expose

    Published Sep 09, 2020 [  Docker  ]

    Ports

    Ports is defined as

    Exports ports. Either specify both ports (HOST:CONTAINER), or just the container port (a random host port will be chosen)

    • Ports mentioned in docker-compose.yml wil be shared amount different services started by the docker-compose
    • Ports will be exposed to the host machine to a random port or a given port

    docker-compose.yml

    mysql:
      image: mysql:5.7
      ports:
        - "3306"
    

    docker-compose ps

      Name                     Command               State            Ports
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      mysql_1       docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld      Up      0.0.0.0:32769->3306/tcp
    

    expose

    Expose is defined as

    Expose ports without publishing them to the host machine - they’ll only be accessible to linked services. Only the internal port can be specified

    • Ports are not exposed to host machine, only exposed to other services
    mysql:
      image: mysql:5.7
      expose:
        - "3306"
    
     Name                  Command             State    Ports
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
     mysql_1      docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld   Up      3306/tcp
