linuxserver/docker-compose

Docker-compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services. Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/docker-compose should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags.

Tag	Description
latest	Ubuntu based images
alpine	Alpine based images

Usage

Docker cli

docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v "$PWD:$PWD" \
  -w="$PWD" \
  linuxserver/docker-compose \
  up

You can replace the last line with any docker-compose command and argument, which will be passed to docker-compose inside the image.

Recommended method

We provide a very convenient script that allows the docker-compose container to run as if it was installed natively:

sudo curl -L --fail https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose/master/run.sh -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Running these two commands on your docker host once will let you issue commands such as docker-compose up -d and the docker-compose container will do its job behind the scenes.

Binaries

We are also providing the binaries for both docker-compose and docker-cli for all three arches in Github releases. You can download the correct binaries for your arch directly and drop into /usr/local/bin/.

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.

Support Info

• image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/docker-compose

Updating Info

Via Docker Cli

• Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/docker-compose
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose.git
cd docker-docker-compose
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t linuxserver/docker-compose:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
