Ahmed Muawia Khan 9be68c972d Problem: standardize docker-compose workflows (#2130)
- Standardize docker-compose workflow
- Change docker-compose version to 2.1
  - why one might ask? because compose version
    3.0 does not support depends on and inherits
    like we want to and is more aimed towards migration to using
    `docker stack`, for our current strategy `2.1` is a better choice.
- change `bdb` service `bigchaindb` service
  - why? Introduced a new proxy service `bdb` which is just a dummy
    `busybox` image.
    - why? because this ensure via healthcheck of bigchaindb that BigchainDB
      has started properly and makes a `curl` to ensure HTTP API server is up
      and running.
      - why? Because we have had scenarios where BigchainDB is not started
        via docker compose and user has to check out the logs to find out what
        the problem might be. This ensure that bigchaindb is up and running.
- Does this change deployment workflow? No.
  - The only thing change is that if you want to run commands inside a bigchaindb
    container e.g. `pytest` now you have to run the following command:
    `docker-compose run --rm --no-deps bigchaindb pytest -v --cov=bigchaindb`
     as opposed to `docker-compose run --rm --no-deps bdb pytest -v --cov=bigchaindb`
- Remove env variable `BIGCHAINDB_START_TENDERMINT`
- Remove TENDERMINT_INTEGRATION.rst and move to the new docs
- Change mdb -> mongodb because the other services were named with
  full name.
- Add example to run specific tests or from a file
- Update config.toml for tendermint to use `bigchaindb` as proxy app
  instead of `bdb`
- Remove `network` directory because it is deprecated
- Add comment about why PYTHONBUFFERED is used

# Setup development environment
## Setting up a single node development environment with ``docker-compose``
You can also use [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) to run all the tests.
```bash
$ docker-compose build bigchaindb
$ docker-compose up -d bdb
```
The above command will launch all 3 main required services/processes:
* ``mongodb``
* ``tendermint``
* ``bigchaindb``
To follow the logs of the ``tendermint`` service:
```bash
$ docker-compose logs -f tendermint
```
To follow the logs of the ``bigchaindb`` service:
```bash
$ docker-compose logs -f bigchaindb
```
To follow the logs of the ``mongodb`` service:
```bash
$ docker-compose logs -f mdb
```
Simple health check:
```bash
$ docker-compose up curl-client
```
Post and retrieve a transaction -- copy/paste a driver basic example of a
``CREATE`` transaction:
```bash
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run --rm bdb-driver ipython
```
**TODO**: A python script to post and retrieve a transaction(s).
### Running Tests
Run all the tests using:
```bash
$ docker-compose run --rm --no-deps bigchaindb pytest -v
```
Run tests from a file:
```bash
$ docker-compose run --rm --no-deps bigchaindb pytest /path/to/file -v
```
Run specific tests:
```bash
$ docker-compose run --rm --no-deps bigchaindb pytest /path/to/file -k "<test_name>" -v
```
### Building Docs
You can also develop and build the BigchainDB docs using ``docker-compose``:
```bash
$ docker-compose build bdocs
$ docker-compose up -d bdocs
```
The docs will be hosted on port **33333**, and can be accessed over [localhost](http:/localhost:33333), [127.0.0.1](http:/127.0.0.1:33333)
OR http:/HOST_IP:33333.
