Compose
Running multiple containers
- Configure relationships between containers
- Save docker container run settings in easy-to-read file
- create one-liner development environment startups
Comprised of 2 separate but related things:
- YAML formatted file that describes solution options for:
- containers
- volumes
- networks
- A CLI tool docker-compose used for local dev/test automation
Installed automatically on Mac and Windows with Docker Desktop, for Linux must be downloaded separately.
