Docker Compose
Docker compose can either be used as a plugin to docker using docker-compose or as a standalone using docker compose.
Great for orchestrating multiple services. Based on docker-compose build file.
build: Builds a docker image based on specs from the docker-compose.yaml.
up: Create and start containers. Can bring up individual or all containers.
run: Run a one off command in a docker container. Only on one container.
down: Stop the service.
