Milas Bowman 1fdbcb6255 build: pass BuildOptions around explicitly & fix multi-platform issues
The big change here is to pass around an explicit `*BuildOptions` object
as part of Compose operations like `up` & `run` that may or may not do
builds. If the options object is `nil`, no builds whatsoever will be
attempted.

Motivation is to allow for partial rebuilds in the context of an `up`
for watch. This was broken and tricky to accomplish because various parts
of the Compose APIs mutate the `*Project` for convenience in ways that
make it unusable afterwards. (For example, it might set `service.Build = nil`
because it's not going to build that service right _then_. But we might
still want to build it later!)

NOTE: This commit does not actually touch the watch logic. This is all
      in preparation to make it possible.

As part of this, a bunch of code moved around and I eliminated a bunch
of partially redundant logic, mostly around multi-platform. Several
edge cases have been addressed as part of this:
 * `DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM` was _overriding_ explicitly set platforms
   in some cases, this is no longer true, and it behaves like the Docker
   CLI now
 * It was possible for Compose to build an image for one platform and
   then try to run it for a different platform (and fail)
 * Errors are no longer returned if a local image exists but for the
   wrong platform - the correct platform will be fetched/built (if
   possible).

Because there's a LOT of subtlety and tricky logic here, I've also tried
to add an excessive amount of explanatory comments.

Docker Compose v2

GitHub release PkgGoDev Build Status Go Report Card Codecov OpenSSF Scorecard Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker defined using the Compose file format. A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up your application are configured. Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a single command: docker compose up.

Where to get Docker Compose

Windows and macOS

Docker Compose is included in Docker Desktop for Windows and macOS.

Linux

You can download Docker Compose binaries from the release page on this repository.

Rename the relevant binary for your OS to docker-compose and copy it to $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins

Or copy it into one of these folders to install it system-wide:

  • /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
  • /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins

(might require making the downloaded file executable with chmod +x)

Quick Start

Using Docker Compose is a three-step process:

  1. Define your app's environment with a Dockerfile so it can be reproduced anywhere.
  2. Define the services that make up your app in docker-compose.yml so they can be run together in an isolated environment.
  3. Lastly, run docker compose up and Compose will start and run your entire app.

A Compose file looks like this:

services:
  web:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
  redis:
    image: redis

Legacy

The Python version of Compose is available under the v1 branch.
