DNS discovery different between v1 and v2 of docker-compose.yml

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

The dns resolution of services is the same between v1 and v2 of docker compose…

On docker > 1.9 --link shouldn’t be required and /etc/resolv.conf with docker internal DNS 127.0.0.11 should resolve services defined in the docker-compose.yml.

Works the same regardless of docker-compose file version 1 or 2

Actual behavior

docker-compose v1 doesn’t resolve services unless I explicitly link them via --link.

docker-compose v2 works as expected

  • a reproducible case if this is a bug, Dockerfiles FTW
    see below

  • host distribution and version ( OSX 10.10.x, OSX 10.11.x, Windows, etc )

    	➜  temp uname -a
	Darwin <hostname> 15.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.3.0: Thu Dec 10 18:40:58 PST 2015; root:xnu-3248.30.4~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Copy the two compose files

  2. Execute the compose files below via docker-compose up

  3. v1 will fail with
    ➜ temp docker-compose -f docker-compose-v1.yml up

    Starting temp_service2_1
    Starting temp_service1_1
    Attaching to temp_service1_1, temp_service2_1
    service2_1 | nc: bad address 'service1’
    temp_service2_1 exited with code 1

v2 will succeed

➜ temp docker-compose -f docker-compose-v2.yml up
Recreating temp_service2_1
Recreating temp_service1_1
Attaching to temp_service2_1, temp_service1_1
service1_1 | HELLO 1
temp_service1_1 exited with code 0
temp_service2_1 exited with code 0
