Docker Compose on Ubuntu 24.04

Docker Compose is a powerful tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Using a simple YAML file, developers can easily configure application services, networks, and volumes, making it a breeze to spin up complex environments for both development and production. Docker Compose allows for streamlined orchestration of containers, making it an essential tool for DevOps and development teams.

Docker compose is a simple yet powerful tool that is used to run multiple containers as a single service. For example, suppose you have an application which requires Apache as a web server and MySQL as a database service. In this case by docker-compose, you can create one single file (docker-compose.yml ) which will create both the containers as a single service without starting each separately

The Compose file provides a way to document and configure all of the applications service dependencies (databases, queues, caches, web service APIs, etc). Using the Compose command line tool you can create and start one or more containers for each dependency with a single command (docker-compose up).
