About Docker Compose
Docker Compose lets you describe a whole application stack, with its containers, networks and volumes, in one YAML configuration file, then start or stop everything with a single command. Instead of typing long docker run commands for each service, the setup is written down once and can be shared or kept in version control.
It is the usual way self-hosted applications publish their installation instructions, so it suits homelab users as well as developers running local environments.
Strengths
- Whole stack described in one readable file
- Starts and stops multiple containers together
