Linux 7.9 with Docker® Compose Server

An application can consist of multiple containers running different services. It can be tedious to start and manage containers manually, so Docker created a useful tool that helps speed up the process - Docker Compose.

Main benefits of using Docker Compose:

Fast and simple configuration. Thanks to YAML scripts and environment variables, you can easily configure or modify application services.

Efficient use of resources. Docker Compose allows you to host multiple isolated environments on one host. Running everything on a single piece of hardware lets you save a lot of resources. Its features that enable it to cache a configuration and re-use existing containers also contribute to resource efficiency.

Secure internal communication. Compose creates a network for all the services to share. This adds an extra security layer for the app, since the services cannot be accessed externally.

Portability and CI/CD support. Since all the services are defined inside the docker-compose file, developers can easily access and share the entire configuration. By pulling the YAML file and source code, they can launch the environment in a matter of minutes. This makes it easier to set up an efficient CI/CD pipeline for your application.

Developing applications using Docker can become challenging when juggling multiple services and containers. But you can install Docker Compose, the tool that will help you run multi-container application environments right now and enjoy your work.
