The below lists all service types that can be defined via `lagoon.type` within a [`docker-compose.yml` file](../concepts-basics/docker-compose-yml.md).

For more information on the `lagoon.volumes.X.path` label, please see [Additional Volumes](../concepts-basics/docker-compose-yml.md/#additional-volumes)

!!! Warning
Once a `lagoon.type` is defined and the environment is deployed, changing it to a different type is not supported and could result in a broken environment.

## Additional Volumes

Some service types allow for additional volumes to be added, for more information on the `lagoon.volumes.X.path` label, please see [Additional Volumes](../concepts-basics/docker-compose-yml.md/#additional-volumes)

## Additional Service Ports

Most services provide a default port, in cases where you want to use the services already defined in your `docker-compose.yml` file, you can configure a service to use those ports instead.

To use this feature, you set the `lagoon.service.usecomposeports: true` label on the service in your `docker-compose.yml` file. For more information on how to use this feature, see [Additional Service Ports](../concepts-basics/docker-compose-yml.md/#additional-service-ports)

## `basic`

Basic container, good to use for most applications that don't have an existing template. No persistent storage. The port can be changed using a label. If an [autogenerated route](../concepts-basics/docker-compose-yml.md#auto-generated-routes) is not required (e.g. for an internal-facing service, set `lagoon.autogeneratedroute: false` in the docker-compose.yml)

### Add additional volumes to an existing non `-persistent` service type

## Additional Service Ports

If you have a service that has many ports, you can use the `lagoon.service.usecomposeports: true` label to inform Lagoon to use the ports defined on the service.

!!! info
Only TCP based ports will be allowed to have a route attached, but UDP ports can be used for internal communications.

For example, if you have a `basic` service that requires ports `8080` and `10009`.

* port 8080 could be a HTTP based port and you want to route to this using a route in `.lagoon.yml`
* port 10009 could be used by other services within the environment for internal communications


You would define your service to consume the `ports` like so:

```yaml title="docker-compose.yml service port snippet"
version: '2'
services:
custom:
build:
context: internal/testdata/basic/docker
dockerfile: Dockerfile
labels:
lagoon.type: basic
lagoon.service.usecomposeports: true
ports:
- "8080"
- "10009"
```

The first port in the list of ports will be the "default" port for the service, so standard routes like so will route to the default port.
An example `.lagoon.yml` is show how this looks the same as any other standard service route.

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml default port route"
environments:
main:
routes:
- custom:
- example.com
```

Alternatively, if you wanted to also have a route specifically for port 10009, you could define the route like so in your `.lagoon.yml`.

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml default and alternative port route"
environments:
main:
routes:
- custom-10009:
- otherport.example.com
```

!!! info
You can define both the "default" route and a custom port route together, as long as they have different domains used.

## Multi-Container Pods

Kubernetes and OpenShift don't deploy plain containers. Instead, they deploy pods, with each one or more containers. Usually Lagoon creates a single pod with a container inside for each defined `docker-compose` service. For some cases, we need to put two containers inside a single pod, as these containers are so dependent on each other that they should always stay together. An example for such a situation is the PHP and NGINX containers that both contain PHP code of a web application like Drupal.

### Path Based Routes

Path based routes allows you to define paths on a route to a different backend. This can be used if you have a separate backend within the environment that you want to route traffic to on the same domain as another service within your environment.

!!! warning
Path based routes can get quite complex and should only be used if you have a need to use them.

Here is an example `.lagoon.yml` file that shows how path based routes can be defined. There is support for global autogenerated routes, per environment autogenerated routes, and custom routes.

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml path based routes"
docker-compose-yaml: docker-compose.yml
# if an environment has `autogeneratePathRoutes` defined like `environments.main.autogeneratePathRoutes`
# then thes global lagoon yaml `routes.autogenerate.pathRoutes` are ignored
routes:
autogenerate:
pathRoutes:
- fromService: nginx
toService: node
path: /api/v1

environments:
main:
# path routes for autogenerated routes for this environment only
autogeneratePathRoutes:
- fromService: nginx
toService: node
path: /api/v1
routes:
- nginx:
- a.example.com:
pathRoutes:
- toService: node
path: /api/v1
```
#### Autogenerated Routes
It is possible to configure global autogenerated routes, these would apply to ALL environments that this `.lagoon.yml` file would cover.

Additionally, per environment autogenerated route configurations are supported, the fields are the same, just where they are defined is different.

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml autogenerated path based routes"
routes:
autogenerate:
pathRoutes:
- fromService: nginx
toService: node
path: /api/v1
environments:
main:
# path routes for autogenerated routes for this environment only
autogeneratePathRoutes:
- fromService: nginx
toService: node
path: /api/v1
```
!!! info
If the per environment path routes are defined on an environment, any global defined ones are ignored.

The supported fields for autogenerated path routes are:

* `fromService` - the autogenerated route for the service you want to add the path based route to
* `toService` - the backend service you want to route to
* `path` - the path to send to the `toService`

#### Custom Routes

It is possible to turn on path based routes for a specific route too, the following `.lagoon.yml` example shows how.

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml custom route path based routes"
environments:
main:
routes:
- nginx:
- a.example.com:
pathRoutes:
- toService: node
path: /api/v1
```
The fields are the same, except that you can omit `fromService` due to the way that custom routes are defined already associated to a `fromService` in their normal configuration.

#### Conditions

##### Autogenerated Route configurations

If the global path routes for autogenerated routes are defined, but an environment has overrides, the global defined path routes are ignored by that environment.

##### Additional Service Ports

If the docker compose label `lagoon.service.usecomposeports=true` has been defined on a service, then the service name with the port number as a suffix to any ports beyond the default (first defined port) must be used as the `toService`. See [Additional Service Ports](docker-compose-yml.md/#additional-service-ports) for more information on this label.

The following `docker-compose.yml` has an example of this label and the ports. This would create the default service port named `node` referencing port 1234, but also another service `node-4321`. If you need to create a path based route to port 4321, you would need to define the `toService` as `node-4321`.

```yaml title="docker-compose.yml path based routes"
services:
nginx:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: basic.dockerfile
labels:
lagoon.type: nginx
lagoon.service.usecomposeports: true
ports:
- '8080'
node:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: basic.dockerfile
labels:
lagoon.type: basic
lagoon.service.usecomposeports: true
ports:
- '1234'
- '4321'
```
Then you could create a route that would route `a.example.com` traffic to the `nginx` service. But any traffic destined for `a.example.com/api/v1` would go to the `node` service on port `4321`

```yaml title=".lagoon.yml custom route path based routes"
environments:
main:
routes:
- nginx:
- a.example.com:
pathRoutes:
- toService: node-4321
path: /api/v1
```

##### URLs

The `path` defined in the `pathRoute` will be passed to whichever `toService` is defined in all URL queries. This means if you're using the `path` defined as `/api/v1` for example, then you may need to cater for this in your backend depending on how your backend is built.

##### Path Types

In Lagoon, currently only `Prefix` type is supported on ingress (see [Ingress path types](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#path-types)).

## Tasks

There are different type of tasks you can define, and they differ in when exactly they are executed in a build flow:
