php - Docker Compose - symlink in deployment -

i have application structure.

• /path/releases
• /path/releases/01012016
• /path/releases/16012016
• /path/releases/etc..

and

• /path/dev (symlink version)
• /path/stag (symlink version)
• /path/stable (symlink version)

my docker-compose.yml looks this:

nginx:     ...     volumes_from:       - data  php:     ...     volumes_from:       - data  data:     volumes:       - /path/stable:/var/www 

i known docker resolves symlinks. have thought before deploy recreate data container , it's ok. it's not.

i have recreate containers taking volumes data container.

any idea how make better, mean better automatic? remove symlinks , put last version docker-compose? mark parent folder volume , resolve via relative symlink? or other solution.

which solution best you. what's best practice.

thank you. felix

if want make more automatic, recreating containers in 1 docker-compose.yml can achieved docker-compose --force-recreate.

another solution be:

/path:/var 

…then ln -s /path/releases/06012016 /path/www when want change.

i don't solution exposes releases inside containers. rather go full restart --force-recreate.
