[Extension Proposal] Docker compose dev services

[Malandril]

Description

Using dev services with quarkus is really great, but can be complicated when the service you want to use is not included in an already created extension.

There is no way to setup a dev service simply without creating an extension which can be complex at first, or using a QuarkusTestResource but the latter is limited to the tests.

Docker compose is well known and often used in the same maner as the quarkus devservices, to startup containers for local development, local integration testing.
Using docker compose to bridge the complexity gap could be great as the services declared in docker compose files could be created and run as devservices by quarkus.
That would allow reuse across tests in the continuous testing mode, and starting and stopping them automatically in dev mode.

I created first implementation here https://github.com/Malandril/quarkus-docker-compose its still a work in progress.

[gastaldi]

That sounds really cool and would be a great candidate. Let's see what others think about it

[geoand]

Definitely makes sense to have something in Quarkiverse

[melloware]

Agreed I think @phillip-kruger also had some similar idea of allowing Generic Dev Services to be created but i like this idea because it allows you to use an existing Docker Compose Stack.

[phillip-kruger]

@cescoffier mentioned that someone has done some work in this area, I can not remember who.

[maxandersen]

@brunobat did something there if i recall.

as i recall it we can't do it "just" as separate extension as things are today as then wouldn't be possible to re-wire the "normal" devservices using docker compose.

but lets see if @brunobat can recall the PR he made. (assuming i remembered the name :)

[brunobat]

It was actually @alesj

[maxandersen]

no, at least I don't think so :) @alesj was doing other approach.

someone had a pr/prototype allowing use of docker compose. was it @ozangunalp ?

[Malandril]

Maybe we can start from the first draft i did , that works for the basic use cases with compose files as dev services.

Then we can see from there how we can integrate more complexe use cases and other ideas.

[cescoffier]

@ozangunalp you had almost everything right?
