Kong in Docker Compose

This is the official Docker Compose template for Kong.

What is Kong?

You can find the official Docker distribution for Kong at https://hub.docker.com/_/kong.

How to use this template

This Docker Compose template provisions a Kong container with a Postgres database, plus a nginx load-balancer. After running the template, the nginx-lb load-balancer will be the entrypoint to Kong.

To run this template execute:

$ docker-compose up

To scale Kong (ie, to three instances) execute:

$ docker-compose scale kong=3

Kong will be available through the nginx-lb instance on port 8000, and 8001. You can customize the template with your own environment variables or datastore configuration.

Kong's documentation can be found at https://docs.konghq.com/.
