Dagger and local development with compose? | Dagger | Page 1

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to figure out how to migrate to Dagger while keeping local development workflow.

I have a simple Symfony/PHP application that mounts the code directory as a volume, so all I have to do is a docker-compose up, and I have a realtime PHP application and a MySql database ready to work.

But I'm not sure how to handle this with Dagger. Best I could think of is making it a 2 step process, with a "Dagger publish locally" to create the base image and then using docker-compose, but this looks like some kind of workaround and I expect for a better solution to be there. I'm even unable to create an imagen and load it locally using only dagger...

Thanks!

I've been discussing local env issues recently here: https://discord.com/channels/707636530424053791/1340058838501687368

I guess one option might be to export the built image to the host as a tarball and then import it into your local registry: https://docs.dagger.io/cookbook/#export-a-container-image-to-the-host

Having to go through that kind of workarounds makes migrating to Dagger really difficult
