compose
Docker Compose is a tool designed to simplify the deployment of multi-container applications using Docker. It uses the Compose file format for defining and managing container setups. A straightforward 'docker compose up' command launches applications, compatible with Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS, and is available for download on Linux. The initial setup process involves creating a Dockerfile for app environments, configuring services in a compose.yaml, and executing applications in isolated setups. Developers can participate in its ongoing development or submit issues through the GitHub repository, with a Python version available on the v1 branch.
