Hi there,
I’ve just checked and can confirm that docker compose is available:
$ docker compose
# Out put:
Usage: docker compose [OPTIONS] COMMAND
Docker Compose
Note that docker-compose is legacy now and you should use docker compose instead.
I case that you need the legacy one, you can install docker-compose with:
apt update -y
apt install docker-compose
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
Hello @carlosclavijoschmiedl
To make sure you obtain the most updated stable version of Docker Compose, you’ll download this software from its official Github repository.
First, confirm the latest version available on their releases page. At the time of this writing, the most current stable version is 2.3.3.
Use the following command to download:
mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins/
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.3.3/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Next, set the correct permissions so that the docker compose command is executable:
chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
To verify that the installation was successful, you can run:
docker compose version
You’ll see output similar to this:
OutputDocker Compose version v2.3.3
Docker Compose is now successfully installed on your system. In the next section, you’ll see how to set up a docker-compose.yml file and get a containerized environment up and running with this tool.
