Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose, see the list of features.
By using the following command you can start up your application:docker-compose -f <docker-compose-file> up
You can also run docker-compose in detached mode using -d flag, then you can stop it whenever needed by the following command:docker-compose stop
You can bring everything down, removing the containers entirely, with the down command. Pass --volumes to also remove the data volume.
