Using Docker Compose with Travis

Travis is a YAML-based CI/CD solution. It does provide source code hosting, but it is very well integrated with GitHub. Travis used to provide free CI/CD for open source projects, so it is very common to work on an open source project that uses Travis. The same steps we followed in the previous CI/CD vendors will also be applied to Travis.

Creating your first Travis job

Travis is YAML-based just like the previous CI/CD tools we examined. Once we enabled Travis integration with a GitHub project, a file named .travis.yml containing the job instructions needs to be present at the root location of the project.

Our.travis.yml base should be the following:

services:
  - docker
 
cache:
  directories:
    - $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins
 
jobs:
  include:
    - stage: "Install Compose"
      script:
      ...
