docker-compose base service, should it run?

[fredvd]

From reading the docker-compose.yml I get the impression that the base service is an abstract definition of config and the other services extend on it.

But docker-compose is happily starting 'base' and it runs the default command from the sentry:8.8-onbuild image. Or is it necessary to have this double django service running, once exposed and once running without being able to accept any connections?

There's a discussion on compose abstract services here.
docker/compose#1988

Yeah, it should work. If there are any specific issues with it, let me know. I'm not particularly a docker-compose user, so this doesn't see much love. I'm happy for someone to contribute to it.
