The Basics

Docker Compose is used for defining and running multi-container applications locally. It simplifies the setup of multiple Docker images within an environment to allow them to run and communicate with each other via a single command.

Installation

Docker Compose is installed automatically when you install the Docker Desktop app. Please follow the steps in Docker: The Basics if you haven't already set up Docker Desktop.

You can check the version of Docker Compose by running the following command.

docker-compose -v
