Docker compose doesn’t get the love it deserves. The most recent versions even dropped requirement to specify the schema version, it’s a beautifully compact way now to describe services and their relationships.

I have used docker-compose for my one man projects for years, removes any need for me to remember any kind of specific deployment steps for a given project. One of the biggest time savers in my entire career.

At last they are finally bringing the functionality into the core docker CLI with a native "docker compose" (not docker-compose) command - why that took until 2020 I have never understood, can only assume internal politics. If compose had been integrated sooner maybe adoption would have been wider.

I've actually come across your project before and keep meaning to try it for my PiHole/HomeAssistant/WireGuard setup etc, will check it out!

+1 for docker-compose or Swarm as executable (always up to date) infrastructure documentation
