Not working properly when using compose mode + service with fixed container names

[blop]

If you have one or more services which looks like :
serviceA:
container_name: serviceA

Then dockercloud/haproxy is not looking up the container name correctly and fail to make that backend usable. I guess it expects some standard format like $project_$service_1.

Workaround is to remove explicit container_name entries from yaml project.
This should be fixed, or mentioned in documentation if not.

It is mentioned in the documentation. Has been since day one I believe.

• DO not overwrite HOSTNAME environment variable in dockercloud/haproxy container.
• The container name is maintained by docker-compose, and used for service discovery as well. Please DO NOT change container_name of the linked service in the compose file to a non-standard name. Otherwise, that service will be ignored.
