Docker Compose
Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services.
Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services
from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose
see the list of features.
Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as
CI workflows. You can learn more about each case in
Common Use Cases.
Using Compose is basically a three-step process.
- Define your app's environment with a
Dockerfileso it can be
reproduced anywhere. - Define the services that make up your app in
docker-compose.ymlso
they can be run together in an isolated environment. - Lastly, run
docker-compose upand Compose will start and run your entire app.
A docker-compose.yml looks like this:
version: '2'
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
redis:
image: redis
For more information about the Compose file, see the
Compose file reference.
Compose has commands for managing the whole lifecycle of your application:
- Start, stop and rebuild services
- View the status of running services
- Stream the log output of running services
- Run a one-off command on a service
Installation and documentation
