Why do we have 2 different docker-compose files and environment settings?

I was wondering why there are 2 different docker compose files in the repo?

1. https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose.yml
2. https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose-windows.yml

And that they reference different environment settings?

1. https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose.yml#L61
2. https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose-windows.yml#L58

Shouldn't these reference https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/datanode-example.env? I had to change this locally to spin up my containers and was curious about this.

Great question!

https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose-windows.yml

• This version is used in combination with powershell script and it was designed for Windows.
• This version uses tarball execution mode. And this is a reason for the different set of configuration options for Arachne Execution Engine.

https://github.com/OHDSI/Arachne/blob/master/install/docker/docker-compose.yml

• Could be used as general version of Docker compose
• Configured for Docker execution mode

The comment about datanode-example.env is reasonable. Let's rename it to avoid confusion.

datanode-example.env was renamed to datanode.env
