How to deploy Orderer peer to Docker using the "docker-compose" command?

You can follow this tutorial to deploy Orderer peer to Docker using the "docker-compose" command.

1. Verify required files for the Orderer peer:

$ cd fabric-orderer
$ ls -l 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fyicenter   935 Apr  1 02:23 docker-compose-orderer.yaml
-rw-r--r-- 1 fyicenter 12980 Apr  1 02:13 genesis.block
drwxr-xr-x 5 fyicenter  4096 Apr  1 21:12 msp

2. Check for any existing Docker container named as orderer.example.com. If exists, remove it.

$ docker ps -a | grep orderer.example.com

3. Run "docker-compose" command:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-orderer.yaml up -d --no-deps
Creating network "fabric-orderer_hello" with the default driver
Creating volume "fabric-orderer_orderer.example.com" with default driver
Creating orderer.example.com ... done

4. Check the Docker container status:

$ docker ps -a | grep orderer.example.com
hyperledger/fabric-orderer:amd64-1.4.0   Exited (1) 1 minutes ago   orderer.example.com

As you can see, the Orderer peer terminated with some error. See the next tutorial on how to troubleshoot the issue.
