Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It is used to orchestrate containers that run together in order to build a complete application. In this tutorial, we will install Docker Compose on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, ensure that you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Docker Compose on MXLinux Latest:
Before installing Docker Compose, we need to install Docker Engine. To do this, update your system package list and install Docker using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
After the installation, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
To confirm that Docker has been installed successfully, run the following command:
sudo docker --version
You should see the version of Docker installed.
To download Docker Compose on MXLinux Latest, use the following command:
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
This command downloads the latest version of Docker Compose (at the time of writing this tutorial) and installs it in the /usr/local/bin/docker-compose directory.
After downloading Docker Compose, make the binary file executable using the following command:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
To verify that Docker Compose has been installed successfully, use the following command:
docker-compose --version
This command should display information about the Docker Compose version you installed.
This tutorial walked you through the installation of Docker Compose on MXLinux Latest. With Docker Compose installed, you can now orchestrate the running of multiple Docker containers to build your applications.
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!
