Configuring and Provisioning Containers
Now that we’ve created our images, we can provision our application with a network and containers. First, we’re going to add configuration to our Pulumi program. Pulumi is a tool to configure your infrastructure, and that includes being able to configure the different stacks with different values. As a result, it makes sense to include the basic configurations as variables at the top of your program.
Configure the application
Add the following configuration variables to your Pulumi program:
These configuration declarations go below your imports.
// Get configuration values
const config = new pulumi.Config();
const frontendPort = config.requireNumber("frontendPort");
const backendPort = config.requireNumber("backendPort");
const mongoPort = config.requireNumber("mongoPort");
These configuration declarations go below your imports.
# Get configuration values
config = pulumi.Config()
frontend_port = config.require_int("frontendPort")
backend_port = config.require_int("backendPort")
mongo_port = config.require_int("mongoPort")
First, add this to the end of your import section:
"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi/config"
Run go mod tidy to update the go.mod and go.sum files as necessary.
Next, add these configuration declarations near the top of the main() function, just after the pulumi.Run line.
// Get configuration values
cfg := config.New(ctx, "")
frontendPort := cfg.RequireFloat64("frontendPort")
backendPort := cfg.RequireFloat64("backendPort")
mongoPort := cfg.RequireFloat64("mongoPort")
_ = frontendPort + backendPort + mongoPort
That last line is, again, just to satisfy Go’s requirement that no variables can be declared that aren’t used later. We’ll remove this as we proceed.
These configuration declarations go in the static stack() method:
// Get configuration values
final var config = ctx.config();
final var frontendPort = config.requireInteger("frontendPort");
final var backendPort = config.requireInteger("backendPort");
final var mongoPort = config.requireInteger("mongoPort");
These statements go between the description and the resources where configuration and variables have been:
# Get configuration values
configuration:
frontendPort:
type: Number
backendPort:
type: Number
mongoPort:
type: Number
# Define variables
variables:
backendImageName: backend
frontendImageName: frontend
You’ll end up using these configuration values later, passing them as environment variables to the containers.
Your Pulumi program should now match this code:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as docker from "@pulumi/docker";
// Get configuration values
const config = new pulumi.Config();
const frontendPort = config.requireNumber("frontendPort");
const backendPort = config.requireNumber("backendPort");
const mongoPort = config.requireNumber("mongoPort");
const stack = pulumi.getStack();
// Pull the backend image
const backendImageName = "backend";
const backend = new docker.RemoteImage(`${backendImageName}Image`, {
name: "pulumi/tutorial-pulumi-fundamentals-backend:latest",
});
// Pull the frontend image
const frontendImageName = "frontend";
const frontend = new docker.RemoteImage(`${frontendImageName}Image`, {
name: "pulumi/tutorial-pulumi-fundamentals-frontend:latest",
});
// Pull the MongoDB image
const mongoImage = new docker.RemoteImage("mongoImage", {
name: "pulumi/tutorial-pulumi-fundamentals-database-local:latest",
});

Try and run your pulumi up again at this point. You should get an error that looks something like this:
Diagnostics:
pulumi:pulumi:Stack (my_first_app-dev):
error: Missing required configuration variable 'my_first_app:frontendPort'
please set a value using the command `pulumi config set my_first_app:frontendPort <value>`
error: an unhandled error occurred: <...> exited with non-zero exit code: 1
This is because we have specified that this config option is required.
Remember how we can use the same program to define multiple stacks? Let’s set
the ports for this stack, which the Pulumi command line knows already from when
you first initialized the project (it’s the dev stack by default):
pulumi config set frontendPort 3001
pulumi config set backendPort 3000
pulumi config set mongoPort 27017
This set of commands creates a file in your directory called Pulumi.dev.yaml
to store the configuration for this stack.
The content of the file should be like this:
config:
my_first_app:backendPort: "3000"
my_first_app:frontendPort: "3001"
my_first_app:mongoPort: "27017"
Now, try and rerun your Pulumi program with pulumi up command.
Your Pulumi program should now run, but you’re not actually using these newly configured ports just yet! That’s because we don’t have any container resources that use the ports; we only have image resources.
Create a Container resource
In the last topic, we retrieved Docker images from a remote registry. Now we want to create Docker containers and pass these containers the configuration values we just defined. Our containers will need to connect to each other, so we will need to create a Network, which is another resource.
Add the following code at the bottom of your program:
// Create a Docker network
const network = new docker.Network("network", {
name: `services-${stack}`,
});
Add the following code at the bottom of your program:
# Create a Docker network
network = docker.Network("network", name=f"services_{stack}")
Add this code at the bottom of your program, just before the last return nil statement:
// Create a Docker network
network, err := docker.NewNetwork(ctx, "network", &docker.NetworkArgs{
Name: pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("services-%v", ctx.Stack())),
})
if err != nil {
return err
}
ctx.Export("containerNetwork", network.Name)
Add these imports to the top:
import com.pulumi.docker.Network;
import com.pulumi.docker.NetworkArgs;
import com.pulumi.docker.Container;
import com.pulumi.docker.ContainerArgs;
import com.pulumi.docker.inputs.ContainerNetworksAdvancedArgs;
import com.pulumi.docker.inputs.ContainerPortArgs;
import com.pulumi.resources.CustomResourceOptions;
Add this code at the bottom:
// Create a Docker Network
final var network = new Network(
"network",
NetworkArgs.builder()
.name(String.format("services-%s",stackName))
.build()
);
Add the following code at the bottom of your resources section:
# Create a Docker network
network:
type: docker:index:Network
properties:
name: services-${pulumi.stack}
Define a new
Container
resource in your Pulumi program below the Network resource, like this:
// Create the backend container
const backendContainer = new docker.Container("backendContainer", {
name: `backend-${stack}`,
image: backend.repoDigest,
ports: [
{
internal: backendPort,
external: backendPort,
},
],
envs: [
`DATABASE_HOST=${mongoHost}`,
`DATABASE_NAME=${database}`,
`NODE_ENV=${nodeEnvironment}`,
],
networksAdvanced: [
{
name: network.name,
},
],
}, { dependsOn: [ mongoContainer ]});
# Create the backend container
backend_container = docker.Container("backend_container",
name=f"backend-{stack}",
image=backend.repo_digest,
ports=[docker.ContainerPortArgs(
internal=backend_port,
external=backend_port)],
envs=[
f"DATABASE_HOST={mongo_host}",
f"DATABASE_NAME={database}",
f"NODE_ENV={node_environment}"
],
networks_advanced=[docker.ContainerNetworksAdvancedArgs(
name=network.name
)],
opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(depends_on=[mongo_container])
)
// Create the backend container
// Use _ instead of a variable name since this container isn't referenced
_, err = docker.NewContainer(ctx, "backend-container", &docker.ContainerArgs{
Name: pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("backend-%v", ctx.Stack())),
Image: backendImage.RepoDigest,
Ports: &docker.ContainerPortArray{
&docker.ContainerPortArgs{
Internal: pulumi.Int(backendPort),
External: pulumi.Int(backendPort),
},
},
Envs: pulumi.StringArray{
pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("DATABASE_HOST=%v", mongoHost)),
pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("DATABASE_NAME=%v", database)),
pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("NODE_ENV=%v", nodeEnvironment)),
},
NetworksAdvanced: &docker.ContainerNetworksAdvancedArray{
&docker.ContainerNetworksAdvancedArgs{
Name: network.Name,
Aliases: pulumi.StringArray{
pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("backend-%v", ctx.Stack())),
},
},
},
}, pulumi.DependsOn([]pulumi.Resource{
mongoContainer,
}))
if err != nil {
return err
}
Because we now have something that is referencing the backendImage and network resources we defined earlier, we can now remove the ctx.Export statements for those resources from our code.
// Create the backend container
final var backendContainer = new Container(
"backendContainer",
ContainerArgs.builder()
.name(String.format("backend-%s",stackName))
.image(backendImage.repoDigest())
.ports(ContainerPortArgs.builder()
.internal(backendPort)

String.format("DATABASE_HOST=%s",mongoHost),
String.format("DATABASE_NAME=%s",database),

))
.networksAdvanced(ContainerNetworksAdvancedArgs.builder()
.name(network.name())
.build()
)
.build(),

.dependsOn(mongoContainer)
.build()
);

It is important to note something here. In the Container resource, we are referencing repoDigest from the RemoteImage resource. Pulumi now knows there is a dependency between these two resources and will know to create the Container resource after the RemoteImage resource. Another dependency to note is that the backendContainer depends on the mongoContainer. If we tried to run pulumi up without the mongoContainer running or present somewhere in state, Pulumi would let us know that the resource didn’t exist and would stop.

If we tried to run pulumi up without the mongo-container running or present somewhere in state, Pulumi would let us know that the resource didn’t exist and would stop.
It’s also important to note the backend container requires some environment variables to connect to the Mongo container and to set the Node environment for Express.js. These are set in the backend/src/.env file in the tutorial-pulumi-fundamentals repository. We don’t want to hardcode these values; we want them to be configurable. To do that, we’ll need to define some additional configuration values. Like before, we can set them using pulumi config on the command line:
pulumi config set mongoHost mongodb://mongo:27017
pulumi config set database cart
pulumi config set nodeEnvironment development
pulumi config set protocol http://
Then, we need to add them to the top of our program with the rest of the configuration values.
const mongoHost = config.require("mongoHost"); // Note that strings are the default, so it's not `config.requireString`, just `config.require`.
const database = config.require("database");
const nodeEnvironment = config.require("nodeEnvironment");
const protocol = config.require("protocol")
mongo_host = config.require("mongoHost") # Note that strings are the default, so it's not `config.require_str`, just `config.require`.
database = config.require("database")
node_environment = config.require("nodeEnvironment")
protocol = config.require("protocol")
mongoHost := cfg.Require("mongoHost") // Note that strings are the default, so it's not `cfg.RequireStr`, just `cfg.Require`
database := cfg.Require("database")
nodeEnvironment := cfg.Require("nodeEnvironment")
protocol := cfg.Require("protocol")
final var mongoHost = config.require("mongoHost"); // Note that strings are the default, so it's not `config.requireString`, just `config.require`
final var database = config.require("database");
final var nodeEnvironment = config.require("nodeEnvironment");
final var protocol = config.require("protocol");
mongoHost:
type: string
database:
type: string
nodeEnvironment:
type: string
protocol:
type: string
All these configuration values are set as required, meaning if you forget to set them with pulumi config set, then pulumi up will report an error.
We also need to create Container resources for the frontend and Mongo
containers. Put the mongoContainer declaration just before the backendContainer one, and the
frontendContainer declaration after the backendContainer declaration. Here’s the code for the Mongo container:

At this point, all the variables we’ve declared have been used, so you can remove all the ctx.Export statements, and remove this line from the configuration declarations near the top of your program:
_ = frontendPort + backendPort + mongoPort
We used these lines to temporarily satisfy Go’s requirements as we were building out the program; now that our program is complete, they are no longer needed.

With Docker networking, we can use image names to refer to a container. In our
example, the React frontend client sends requests to the Express backend client.
The URL to the backend is set via the setupProxy.js file in the
app/frontend/src directory with the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
Run pulumi up to get the application running. Open a browser to http://localhost:3001, and our application is now deployed.
Update the database
What if we want to add to the products on the page? We can POST to the API just as we would any API. Generally speaking, you would typically wire the database to an API and update it that way with any cloud, so we’re going to do exactly that here.
Open a terminal and run the following command.
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:3000/api/products' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"ratings": {
"reviews": [],
"total": 63,
"avg": 5
},
"created": 1600979464567,
"currency": {
"id": "USD",
"format": "$"
},
"sizes": [
"M",
"L"
],
"category": "boba",
"teaType": 2,
"status": 1,
"_id": "5f6d025008a1b6f0e5636bc7",
"images": [
{
"src": "classic_boba.png"
}
],
"name": "My New Milk Tea",
"price": 5,
"description": "none",
"productCode": "852542-107"
}'
You should get back the following response:
{"status":"ok","data":{"product":{"ratings":{"reviews":[],"total":63,"avg":5},"created":1600979464567,"currency":{"id":"USD","format":"$"},"sizes":["M","L"],"category":"boba","teaType":2,"status":1,"_id":"5f6d025008a1b6f0e5636bc7","images":[{"_id":"62608f2a9ad5d90026847b0f","src":"classic_boba.png"}],"name":"My New Milk Tea","price":5,"description":"none","productCode":"852542-107","__v":0}}}
Refresh the app on http://localhost:3001, and our data is now updated!
Cleaning up
Whenever you’re working on learning something new with Pulumi, it’s always a good idea to clean up any resources you’ve created so you don’t get charged on a free tier or otherwise leave behind resources you’ll never use. Let’s clean up.
Run the pulumi destroy command to remove all of the resources:
$ pulumi destroy
Previewing destroy (dev)
View Live: https://app.pulumi.com/<org>/<project>/<stack>/previews/<build-id>
...
Do you want to perform this destroy? yes
Destroying (dev)
View Live: https://app.pulumi.com/<org>/<project>/<stack>/updates/<update-id>
...
The resources in the stack have been deleted, but the history and configuration associated with the stack are still maintained.
If you want to remove the stack completely, run 'pulumi stack rm dev'.
Now your resources should all be cleared! That last comment you see in the output notes that the stack and all of the configuration and history will stay in your dashboard on the Pulumi Service (app.pulumi.com). For now, that’s okay. We’ll talk more about removing the project from your history in another pathway.
Congratulations, you’ve now finished Pulumi Fundamentals! You learned to create a Pulumi project; work on your Pulumi program to build Docker images, containers, and networks; and deploy the infrastructure locally with your first resource provider. Now, head back to the main page and explore some other tutorials to understand more about Pulumi. The best next step to take is to explore the Building with Pulumi pathway.
Thank you for your feedback!
