Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Docker Compose on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you can begin, you need to ensure that you have some prerequisites in place:
First, you need to install Docker on the Alpine Linux Latest instance. Use the following command to install Docker:
sudo apk add docker
After the installation completes, start the Docker service:
sudo service docker start
Lastly, enable the Docker service to start automatically at boot:
sudo rc-update add docker
Next, you need to install Docker Compose on the Alpine Linux Latest instance. Use the following command to download the latest version of Docker Compose:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
After the download completes, make Docker Compose executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
You can now verify that Docker Compose has been installed correctly by running the following command:
docker-compose --version
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Docker Compose on Alpine Linux Latest. Now that you have Docker Compose installed, you can start to create and manage multi-container Docker applications with ease.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
