FR: Extend services by additional parameters
Description
You provide great future to start services from .gitab-ci.yml file. With enhance support of private repositories it became more important.
But you only deduct service name from its URL. What if I need start two postgres
instances?
Or should provide additional arguments like aliases, volumes for service run? In my real case I have image which use systemd
service in it to be closer to "reals server installation". To run it I must pass volume like: -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro
Proposal
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22305#possible-fixes I briefly suggest extend that syntax too, but it was bug, so I open that future request separately. Fore example syntax may be like:
services:
- database:
image: docreg.taskdata.work:5000/egaisdb:latest
alias: db
ports:
- '5432:5432'
pull: true
volumes:
- '/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro'
# Another service in current style define format for shortness and backward compatibility:
- my.registry.tld:5000/namepace/image:tag

I think you may look for syntax on ansible
module docker_container. Or integrate with docker-compose. Support docker-compose
integration will be awesome, at least partially.
