This field was added in [moby@5130fe5d38837302e], which added it for use as intermediate struct when parsing CLI flags (through `runconfig.ParseExec`) in [moby@c786a8ee5e9db8f5f]. Commit [moby@9d9dff3d0d9e92adf] rewrote the CLI to use Cobra, and as part of this introduced a separate `execOptions` type in `api/client/container`, however the ExecOptions.Detach field was still used as intermediate field to store the flag's value. Given that the client doesn't use this field, let's remove its use to prevent giving the impression that it's used anywhere. [moby@5130fe5d38837302e]:5130fe5d38

Docker Compose v2
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:
- Define your app's environment with a
Dockerfile
so it can be reproduced anywhere. - Define the services that make up your app in
compose.yaml
so they can be run together in an isolated environment. - 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
