How to run python file after docker-compose in a shell script?

Question

I want to run a python file after a docker-compose file, which contains localstack. This is how I am trying:

#!/bin/bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
python main.py 

After running the docker-compose file, it does not proceed to run my next command. Can anyone help me to achieve the above?

Answer 1

The -d argument to docker-compose up will make it detach from the containers and return, so that other commands can run:

#!/bin/bash

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
python main.py

Just make sure your other command does not run too early if it relies on the containers.
