Docker Compose Dev

docker-compose-dev

just dev runs the stack via Docker Compose. The split is:

• docker-compose.base.yaml — shared service definitions
• docker-compose.yaml — local-development overrides that extend base

On macOS and Windows (via Docker Desktop), host networking must be enabled in Docker Desktop settings (Settings → Resources → Network → Enable host networking) — without it, the server cannot reach plugins or fake rigs on their bound ports. Linux gets this implicitly.

What to do

1. When adding or modifying a service, check whether it belongs in base (shared with deployment artifacts) or only in the dev override.
2. Preserve port bindings that match what plugins and fake-antminer / fake-proto-rig expect (4028 for cgminer, 80 for Antminer Web API).
3. If a service fails to come up, first verify host networking is enabled on Docker Desktop before debugging YAML.

What to avoid

• Don't switch services from host networking to bridge networking to "fix" a port conflict — it breaks plugin↔miner communication on Mac/Win.
• Don't add new exposed-port mappings that overlap the cgminer/web API ports already consumed by fake rigs.
