15 Useful Docker Compose Commands For Everyday Development
Understanding and Exploring Docker Compose Commands
Docker-compose is a tool that is used for multi-container applications in a single host. We can run multi containers as services in a single host with the help of docker-compose.yaml.
Docker Compose is really useful when we don’t have the development environment setup on our local machine to run all parts of the application to test or we want to run all parts of the application with one command. For example, if you want to run React and nodeJS express server on different ports and need a single command to set up and run the whole thing. You can accomplish that with Docker Compose.
