Create docker-compose configurations for any multi-container application. Our generator provides production-ready templates for popular stacks and deployment patterns.

What is docker-compose.yml?

docker-compose.yml is a YAML configuration file that defines how to run multi-container Docker applications. It specifies services (containers), their images or build contexts, environment variables, ports, volumes, and inter-service dependencies. With a single 'docker compose up' command, you can start your entire application stack.

Why Use docker-compose?

✓

Run multi-container applications with a single command

✓

Define entire application stack as code

✓

Easy local development environment setup

✓

Consistent environments across development teams

✓

Simple service networking and dependencies

✓

Volume management for data persistence

Common Use Cases

Full-Stack Development

Run frontend, backend, database, and cache together locally with hot reload and shared networks.

Database + Admin Tools

Spin up PostgreSQL with pgAdmin or MySQL with phpMyAdmin for database development and testing.

Microservices Testing

Test service-to-service communication with realistic networking and dependency management.

CI/CD Environments

Create reproducible test environments for continuous integration with all dependencies included.

Preguntas Frecuentes

What is docker-compose.yml?

docker-compose.yml is a YAML file that defines multi-container Docker applications. It specifies services, networks, and volumes, allowing you to run multiple containers with a single 'docker-compose up' command.

What is the difference between docker-compose and Dockerfile?

Dockerfile builds a single container image with instructions like FROM, COPY, and RUN. docker-compose.yml orchestrates multiple containers, defining how they connect, share networks, and persist data. They're complementary—compose uses Dockerfiles to build images.

How do I connect containers in docker-compose?

Containers in the same docker-compose file automatically share a network. Reference other services by their service name as hostname (e.g., postgres:5432). Use depends_on to control startup order.

What are Docker volumes?

Volumes persist data outside container lifecycle. Named volumes (declared in volumes: section) store database data, logs, or uploads. Bind mounts sync local folders for development. Both survive container restarts.

How do I use environment variables?

Define variables inline (environment: KEY=value), reference an .env file (env_file: .env), or use variable substitution (${VARIABLE}). Keep secrets in .env files excluded from version control.

Should I use docker-compose in production?

docker-compose works for simple production deployments. For larger scale, consider Docker Swarm (docker stack deploy) or Kubernetes. Compose V2 integrates with both via docker compose up and docker stack.
