Check Docker Compose Config

Docker Compose Configuration Checker

Analyze Docker Compose files for configuration issues in PHP application stacks.

Detection Patterns

1. Missing Health Checks

# BAD: No healthcheck section for service
# GOOD: Health check present
services:
  php-fpm:
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "php-fpm-healthcheck || exit 1"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 3s
      retries: 3

2. depends_on Without Condition

# BAD: No health condition (race condition on startup)
services:
  app:
    depends_on:
      - mysql

# GOOD: Health condition enforced
services:
  app:
    depends_on:
      mysql:
        condition: service_healthy

3. Hardcoded Passwords

# BAD: Credentials in plain text
services:
  mysql:
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: secret123

# GOOD: Using .env file reference
services:
  mysql:
    env_file: [.env]
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}

4. No Resource Limits

# GOOD: Resource limits defined
services:
  php-fpm:
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: "1.0"
          memory: 512M

5. No Restart Policy

# GOOD: Restart policy defined
services:
  app:
    restart: unless-stopped

6. Deprecated version Field

# BAD: Deprecated in Compose V2+
version: "3.8"
services:
  app:
    image: my-app

7. Missing Networks Definition

# GOOD: Explicit network isolation
services:
  app:
    networks: [frontend, backend]
  mysql:
    networks: [backend]
networks:
  frontend:
  backend:
    internal: true

8. Volume Permission Issues

# GOOD: User mapping to avoid permission issues
services:
  php-fpm:
    user: "${UID:-1000}:${GID:-1000}"
    volumes:
      - ./src:/var/www/html

9. Port Conflicts

# BAD: Binding to all interfaces — ports: ["80:80"]
# GOOD: Specific host binding — ports: ["127.0.0.1:8080:80"]

10. Missing .env File Reference

# GOOD: Explicit env_file with variable interpolation
services:
  app:
    env_file: [.env]

Grep Patterns

# Hardcoded passwords
Grep: "PASSWORD.*:.*['\"]?[a-zA-Z0-9]" --glob "**/docker-compose*.yml"

# depends_on without condition
Grep: "depends_on:" --glob "**/docker-compose*.yml"

# Deprecated version field
Grep: "^version:" --glob "**/docker-compose*.yml"

# Port bindings
Grep: "ports:" --glob "**/docker-compose*.yml"
