Links

Maestro also supports defining links to link same-host containers together via Docker’s Links feature. Read more about Docker Links to learn more. Note that the format of the environment variables is not the same as the ones Maestro inserts into the container’s environment, so software running inside the containers needs to deal with that on its own.

Defining links is done through the instance-level links section, with each link defined as a child in the format name: alias:

services:
  myservice:
    image: ...
    instances:
      myservice-1:
        # ...
        links:
          mongodb01: db
