PoC: Blue-green deployment wih Docker Compose, Nginx, Consul and Registrator

• Run docker network create consul to create a new network;
• Run docker-compose -f docker-compose-consul.yml up -d to start Consul and Registrator;
• Open in browser http://localhost:8500/ to check;
• Run ./deploy.sh to first run;
• Open in browser http://localhost/ to check;
• Run ./deploy.sh to imitate deploying of a new app;
• Open in browser http://localhost/ to check a new version;
• Run ./rollback.sh to imitate a rollback;
• Open in browser http://localhost/ to check an old version;
• Use python2.7 test.py in a new terminal to be sure that an app is always online during a deploy/rollback.
