Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. This file is called docker compose file.
Compose works in all environments: production, staging, development, testing, as well as CI workflows
Using Compose is basically a three-step process:
Dockerfile so it can be reproduced anywhere.docker-compose.yml so they can be run together in an isolated environment.docker-compose up and Compose starts and runs your entire app.A docker-compose.yml looks like this:
version: '3'services: web: build: . ports: - "5000:5000" volumes: - .:/code - logvolume01:/var/log links: - redis redis: image: redisvolumes: logvolume01: {}
