UUID Renews with Every Build of docker-compose, How can we set Permenant UUID and Prevent Generated new Instances on Amplify Website??

[insiyatif]

Hi,
I'm using Nginx via docker-compose with this configuration;

  nginx:
    image: nginx
    container_name: nginx
    hostname: RNginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    restart: always

# command: bash -c /etc/nginx/afy_custom_amplify_install.sh
#"apt-get update && apt-cache pkgnames | grep python3 && apt-get install git wget gcc python3 gnupg2 nano -y && curl -L -O https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-amplify-agent/raw/master/packages/install.sh && API_KEY='THE_API_KEY' sh ./install.sh -y"

    volumes:
      - ./nginx/conf/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/:ro
      - ./certs/:/etc/nginx/certs/:ro    
      - ./nginx/log/:/var/log/nginx/:rw  
      - ./nginx/nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro  

#      - ./nginx/amplify-agent/:/etc/amplify-agent/:rw
#      - ./nginx/nginx/afy_manual_amplify_install.sh:/etc/nginx/afy_manual_amplify_install.sh:ro

environment:
  - TZ=Europe/Istanbul
  - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

  webapi:
     ....
  web:
     ....
  mongo:
     ....
  etc...

I'm publishing my web/api etc.. projects almost everyday.
But whenever I re build docker-compose, Nginx is also builds, and with everybuilds, the uuid regenerated. Amplify.Nginx.com shows new monitoring screen via uuid changes.
My history gets interrupts by new instances.

I have tried using volumes for amplify-agent conf file before installing, the install.sh file, but I couldn't get succeded with many errors whatever I tried.

I want the amplify could be installed inside Nginx container first, then keep the uuid wheter the nginx builds again or not.

Thanks for your helps..

@insiyatif consider using imagename configuration option (see https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx-amplify#13-aggregate-mode for details)

@defanator thanks for your answer. I have already tried that, but after you said, I run
docker run --name mynginx1 -e API_KEY='THE_API_KEY' -e AMPLIFY_IMAGENAME=my-service-123 -d nginx-amplify
script again with my key. But I got the error below:

[root@vmi740842 dockerTest]# docker run --name nginx -e API_KEY='THE_API_KEY' -e AMPLIFY_IMAGENAME=my-service-123 -d nginx-amplify
Unable to find image 'nginx-amplify:latest' locally
Trying to pull repository docker.io/library/nginx-amplify ... 
/usr/bin/docker-current: repository docker.io/nginx-amplify not found: does not exist or no pull access.
See '/usr/bin/docker-current run --help'.

nginx-amplify is not found. Actually, the main problem was this for me. I couldn't find this image, so I was running the nginx first, and then installing the amplify. But in that situation I couldn't have the previous uuid.

And normally I'm using docker-compose to build my apps, if it's possible for nginx and amplify too, it would be better.

What can I do now?

@insiyatif you will need to either build your own image, or use any of prebuilt ones from https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxinc/amplify-agent/tags
