Use the below-mentioned steps to link containers in a docker-compose file:-
Firstly, create a custom Docker network named consumer-producer network.
After that start container named producer using image employee-producer and the custom network consumer-producer.
Lastly, start a container named consumer using image employee-consumer and the custom network consumer-producer.
All the above steps can be automated using docker-compose. The compose file will be as follows:-
version: "3"
services:
consumer:
image: employee-consumer
networks:
- consumer-producer
depends_on:
- producer
producer:
image: employee-producer
ports:
- "8080:8080"
networks:
- consumer-producer
networks:
consumer-producer:
