Release Goals

State convergence

Rather than deleting and re-creating every container on every invocation of docker-compose up, Compose will intelligently only re-create what is necessary in order to pick up changes to docker-compose.yml or updated service images.

Only recreate what's changed - #1399

Use labels to keep track of containers

Rather than using container names, which forces Compose to use rather hacky logic in places and stops users from customising names, Compose will use Docker's new "labels" feature to keep track of its containers. This will also improve performance on hosts or clusters with lots of containers running.

Use labels instead of names to identify containers - #1356

Support for custom labels

Users can add custom metadata to containers with a labels configuration option in docker-compose.yml.

Implement labels option - #1145
