git URLs in context in docker-compose.yml

[sanjayankur31]

Hello,

Not sure if this is meant to work yet, or not, but one can apparently include git urls in context: in docker compose files:

Either a path to a directory containing a Dockerfile, or a url to a git repository.

https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#build

This isn't working for me. I get:

Even if I use https://, it still gives the same error.

my podman version says

       The build context directory can be specified as the http(s) URL of an archive, git repository or Containerfile.

would you please try using podman build ... and tell me if the problem is in podman or podman-compose

[sanjayankur31]

Sure, I'll have a look and report back. Cheers.

I am getting a similar error message.

My docker-compose.yml contains:

  server:
    build: https://github.com/prk3/sundae-collab-server.git

podman build works fine:

podman build --tag thingabc:0.1 https://github.com/prk3/sundae-collab-server.git

Same issue here. Looks like local file access is hardcoded.

I'm noticing that this still hasnt been fixed yet in the latest version of docker compose. Is there a PR to fix this yet?

[skilip]

I can confirm that this hasn't been fixed in mainyet. Building directly via Posman works, building via Podman Compose doesn't.
