What is the proper way to use Deployer with docker containers?

[tomaszkane]

Hi! I use Deployer 7 to deploy projects to staging server with docker compose installed.

• Containers with PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.2 is always run.
• Task deploy:vendors should run on given container.
• But it not possibe?
• So now I set container name for host and use own vendors task to run something like:

docker exec {{container_name} bash -c "cd {{container_release_path}} && composer {{composer_action}} {{composer_options}}"

I saw that `{{bin/composer}} can be set. But it don't get expected result here? https://github.com/deployphp/deployer/blob/master/recipe/deploy/vendors.php#L31
And also saw this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51274489/how-to-use-deployer-with-docker-laradock

It is not proper way to deploy with Docker. Do not run you commands in container. Build an image.

It may not be the proper way, but I wrote up how I am using Deployer to deploy to a Docker container.
