Pipeline services ports customization

[Federico Bo]

Hi everyone,
I started some time ago defining some build steps into BB pipelines, I found many useful features, among them the definition of services.

I've tried a postgres and a rabbitmq image to test the application I'm working on and as far as I run the services with the default ports everything works smoothly.

Now I'm trying to define a service with a postgres container exposed on a port different from the default one.

definitions:
  services:
    postgres:
      image: postgres:14
    variables:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: some_pass
      POSTGRES_USER: some_user
    ports:
      "5433:5432"

This docker-like approach seems not to work, during the test steps the application is not able to reach the container.

Is there a way to achieve this without push/pull a custom image?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Federico

Hi Federico,

I'm afraid that we don't support port mapping.

However, it is possible to use the PGPORT environment variable here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/libpq-envars.html

You can define the service in the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file as follows:

definitions: 
  services: 
    postgres: 
      image: postgres:14
      environment:
        POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 'test'
        POSTGRES_DB: 'gstest'
        PGPORT: '8432'

Is this something that works for you?

Kind regards,
Theodora
