Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It allows running complex applications as a single entity consisting of multiple Docker containers. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Docker Compose on nixOS Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure that you have a nixOS Latest system installed with root or sudo access.
To use Docker Compose, you must have Docker installed on your system. If you do not have Docker installed on your system, you can install it using the following commands:
sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05 nixpkgs
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.docker
sudo systemctl start docker
You can check whether Docker is installed correctly by running the following command:
docker version
Docker Compose can be installed on nixOS Latest using the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.docker_compose
You can check whether Docker Compose is installed correctly by running the following command:
docker-compose version
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Docker Compose on nixOS Latest. You can now use Docker Compose to define and run multi-container Docker applications. If you have any issues during the installation process, feel free to refer to the official Docker Compose documentation or seek help from the Docker Compose community.
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!
