Awesome Compose

A curated list of Docker Compose samples.

These samples provide a starting point for how to integrate different services using a Compose file and to manage their deployment with Docker Compose.

Note:

The following samples are intended for use in local development environments such as project setups, tinkering with software stacks, etc. These samples must not be deployed in production environments.

Contents

• Samples of Docker Compose applications with multiple integrated services.
• Single service samples.
• Basic setups for different platforms (not production ready - useful for personal use).

Getting started

These instructions will get you through the bootstrap phase of creating and deploying samples of containerized applications with Docker Compose.

Prerequisites

• Make sure that you have Docker and Docker Compose installed
  • Windows or macOS: Install Docker Desktop
  • Linux: Install Docker and then Docker Compose
• Download some or all of the samples from this repository.

Running a sample

The root directory of each sample contains the compose.yaml which describes the configuration of service components. All samples can be run in a local environment by going into the root directory of each one and executing:

docker compose up -d

Check the README.md of each sample to get more details on the structure and what is the expected output. To stop and remove all containers of the sample application run:

docker compose down
