Auto-create Temporal search attributes in Docker Compose

compose.yaml

services:
  # This is your Temporal workflow app - just an example service for demo
  workflow:
    image: alpine
    command: sleep 3600
    depends_on:
      temporal:
        condition: service_healthy

  temporal:
    image: temporalio/temporal
    ports:
      - 8080:8233
    command: server start-dev --ip 0.0.0.0 --search-attribute YourAttributeName=Keyword --search-attribute Step=Int
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "temporal operator cluster health"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3

  # Display the search-attributes - not necessary in reality
  temporal-validate:
    image: temporalio/temporal
    command: |
      operator search-attribute list
    restart: on-failure
    environment:
      TEMPORAL_ADDRESS: temporal:7233
    depends_on:
      temporal:
        condition: service_healthy

This is a Docker Compose file which auto-creates the search attributes when you run docker compose up. In this example, the temporal server creates the search attributes at runtime and temporal-validate prints a list of the search attributes created (you should see YourAttributeName and Step added in there).

The workflow isn't really relevant as that's just a long-running container that represents your actual workflow app (it's just an alpine container with a sleep 3600 for this example - you'll need to replace that)
