Sebastiaan van Stijn 5ec37d08a5 build: replace uses of archive.CanonicalTarNameForPath
This function is an alias for filepath.IsAbs and we are considering deprecating
and/or removing this function in the archive package, so removing its uses
helps transitioning if we decide to deprecate and/or remove it.

[docker/cli@fb0788f] also added a normalize step in TrimBuildFilesFromExcludes,
so that callers are not _required_ to first normalize the path, so the
normalizeation may be redunant, but keeping the normalization as this variable
is used further down the code.

[docker/cli@fb0788f]: fb0788f18f

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 compose.yaml 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
