Docker 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 can create and start all the services from your configuration.

Step 1: First we Download and Install Docker Compose

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Step 2: Change Permissions

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Step 3: Check Docker Compose version

docker-compose --version

Let see how to use compose the file with an example.

Fist first let’s see how docker file look like.

version: "3.8"
services:
  web:
    build:
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
      - logvolume01:/var/log
    links:
      - redis
  redis:
    image: redis
volumes:
  logvolume01: {}

And save it docker-compose.yml

And hit the below command

#docker-compose up -d

And your Redis is running in port number 5000. To read more on Docker Compose, visit the Documentation Page.
