docker-compose (EN)

Definition

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications with YAML files. It simplifies the management of complex, networked services through the central configuration of all container parameters in a single file. With Compose, you can create, start, and manage entire application environments with a single command, which significantly facilitates the development and operation of multi-container applications.
