Docker Compose Docker Inc.
Use this command to install Docker Compose:
winget install --id=Docker.DockerCompose -e Define and run multi-container applications with Docker with simple configuration files and command: docker-compose up
Docker Compose is a tool designed to simplify the deployment of multi-container applications using Docker. It enables developers to define their application's services, networks, and volumes in a single YAML file, making it easier to provision and manage complex containerized environments.
Key Features:
- Single-File Definition: Define all components of your application in a single
docker-compose.ymlfile for clarity and simplicity. - Service Orchestration: Automatically start, stop, and rebuild containers as needed, ensuring seamless operation of your application.
- Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing consistent behavior across different operating systems.
- Integration with Docker CLI: Leverage familiar Docker commands to manage your application, such as
docker-compose upordocker-compose down. - Volume Management: Simplify data persistence by defining volumes directly in the compose file.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and teams building containerized applications. Using Docker Compose streamlines development workflows by enabling consistent application behavior across different environments. It reduces complexity when managing multiple services, allowing teams to focus on coding rather than infrastructure setup.
Installation can be done via winget on Windows or other package managers depending on the operating system.

Docker Compose v2
Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker
defined using the Compose file format.
A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up
your application are configured.
Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a
single command: docker compose up.
> Note: About Docker Swarm > Docker Swarm used to rely on the legacy compose file format but did not adopted the compose specification > so is missing some of the recent enhancements in the compose syntax. After > acquisition by Mirantis swarm isn't maintained by Docker Inc, and > as such some Docker Compose features aren't accessible to swarm users.
