How to use two Dockerfile in one docker-compose file?

Question

version: '2'

services:
  service1:
    build:
    image: company/service1:v1
    context: .
      - dockerfile: Dockerfile-service1

  service2:
    build: .
    image: company/service2:v1
    links:
      - service1

I have two Dockerfiles, one is called Dockerfile and one is called Dockerfile-service1 both in the same directory (/opt) as the docker-compose.yml.

I need to build both images and start the containers and link them. In order for me to do that now, I move the Dockerfile-service1 into another directory and rename it to Dockerfile and then run the build command like this: docker build -t company/service1:v1 .

Then I go to the /opt directory again and build the service2 image and start both containers: docker build . --no-cache -t company/service2:v1 && docker-compose up -d

There must be a better way so I can run one command that does both, I just don't know how.

How do I solve this problem?

Not really sure what are you trying to do, but you do not need to rename docker file. In docker-compose, you can have it like this:

build: 
  context: ./path_to_dockerfile 
  dockerfile: Dockerfile-service1

and then I run everything inside docker-compose.yml with following command:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

This would do:

version: '2'

services:
  service1:
    container_name: service1
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile-service1

  service2:
    container_name: service2
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
    links:
      - service1

or if you have the service-2 image already built, here it is:

version: '2'

services:
  service1:
    container_name: service1
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile-service1

  service2:
    container_name: service2
    image: company/service2:v1
    links:
      - service1

docker-compose up -d
