Profiles can also be set by `COMPOSE_PROFILES` environment variable.
### Configuring parallelism
Use `--parallel` to specify the maximum level of parallelism for concurrent engine calls.
Calling `docker compose --parallel 1 pull` will pull the pullable images defined in the Compose file
one at a time. This can also be used to control build concurrency.
Parallelism can also be set by the `COMPOSE_PARALLEL_LIMIT` environment variable.
### Set up environment variables
You can set environment variables for various docker compose options, including the `-f`, `-p` and `--profiles` flags.
Setting the `COMPOSE_FILE` environment variable is equivalent to passing the `-f` flag,
`COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` environment variable does the same as the `-p` flag,
and `COMPOSE_PROFILES` environment variable is equivalent to the `--profiles` flag.
`COMPOSE_PROFILES` environment variable is equivalent to the `--profiles` flag
and `COMPOSE_PARALLEL_LIMIT` does the same as the `--parallel` flag.
If flags are explicitly set on the command line, the associated environment variable is ignored.
