Engage multiple docker-compose YAML files to structure customization of ISLE

[McFateM]

Issue Description

This is more of a feature request than an issue.

I've written a script that allows an ISLE admin to select and engage customization to ISLE using a relatively simple, structured approach. The script, isle-docker-compose.sh is attached here, and it basically uses a "hook" approach by looking for files on an ISLE host in any directory one level below an institution's ISLE folder, where docker-compose.yml exists. The script scans all such directories for files that fit the naming convention of: docker-compose.ORDER.NAME.yml. It subsequently builds and executes a command of the form:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.00.name00.yml -f docker-compose.01.name1.yml -f docker-compose.XX.nameXX.yml up -d

The script is attached here, and the comments within explain this in a little more detail.

Additional Requirements

If this script/approach is adopted it will be necessary to:

• Navigate to the ISLE project directory like so: cd /path/to/ISLE (the host directory where docker-compose.yml exists).
• Add the script to the project preserving the name of the script, `isle-docker-compose.sh. If the script name is changed you will need to change the following commands to match.
• Change the script permissions so that it is executable using: chmod u+x isle-docker-compose.sh.
• Create a symbolic link in the same folder using: ln -s isle-docker-compose.sh isle-docker-compose. Adding this link will essentially define/create a new isle-docker-compose command for the ISLE admin to use.

Example Use

If adopted and installed, this feature would enable sysadmins to add a properly structured feature using a procedure like the following example. This example assumes that ISLE has been cloned into the /opt/ISLE directory on the host. It engages the GitHub project https://github.com/DigitalGrinnell/cleanup-in-ISLE-one-please.

cd /opt/ISLE
## Clone the feature/project to be implemented.  Repeat this for as many features/projects as you like.
git clone https://github.com/DigitalGrinnell/cleanup-in-ISLE-one-please.git
## Do a `docker-compose up -d` with your new feature included

Attaching the script as promised above. If used, be sure to change the script name from isle-docker-compose.txt back to isle-docker-compose.sh.

Did a little re-organization of things with some re-naming. Please see https://github.com/DIgitalGrinnell/ISLE_docker_compose for details now.
