If you've built scores of docker-compose.yml files and are migrating to AlmaLinux, you'll need to install the podman-compose tool so you can keep using those files. Jack Wallen shows you how.

Portainer also supports spinning up containers using docker-compose files, but only for installation. Once a container or stack is up and running, I can’t edit the relevant docker-compose YAML file.

Docker 1.13 adds Compose-file support to the ‘docker stack deploy’ command so that services can be deployed to the inbuilt Docker Swarm Mode cluster using a ‘docker-compose.yml’ file directly.

At DockerCon, a demo during a keynote shows Visual Studio Code capable of editing of Docker Compose files via an extension that will be available at the next update.
