How to Use Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With the YAML file generated above, you can orchestrate your entire development stack with a single command.

1

Create your YAML File

Copy the generated configuration and save it as docker-compose.yml in your project's root directory.

# Navigate to your project folder
cd /path/to/your/project
# Create the file
nano docker-compose.yml
2

Spin Up the Stack

Run the following command to download the necessary images and start your containers in "detached" mode (background).

docker-compose up -d
3

Manage your Containers

Once your stack is running, you can monitor and manage it with these essential commands:

docker-compose ps List all running services and their status.
docker-compose logs -f Tail the logs from all containers in real-time.
docker-compose stop Stop the services without removing them.
docker-compose down Stop and remove all containers and networks.

Note on "Web App" Service

If you selected the "Web App" service, ensure you have a Dockerfile in your project root, as the compose file is configured to build the image from your local source code.
