Quick start Docker Compose

Getting started

Some useful command with docker-compose

Bring up services:

• Foreground: docker-compose up
• Background: docker-compose up -d Note: When running docker-compose in background, you may want to stop services after you have done your work by using command: docker-compose stop.

Bring down services:

docker-compose down Passing flag --volumes to remove volumes using by your containers.

Specify docker-compose file

Normally, you must be inside a docker-compose project with docker-compose.yaml file in order to user most of docker-compose command, or you can use docker-compose -f <path/to/docker-compose-file> <command> to run command on specific docker-compose project.

Define project name

Project name is used with your service name to create container name: Container Name = Project Name_Service Name_1

By default, project name is the name of the directory which contains docker-compose file.
