GitHub describes it as Define and run multi-container applications with Docker. The repository metadata lists Go as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker defined using the Compose file format. A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up your application are configured. Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a single command: docker compose up .

The README section "Docker Compose" states: Note : About Docker Swarm Docker Swarm used to rely on the legacy compose file format but did not adopt the compose specification so is missing some of the recent enhancements in the compose syntax. After acquisition by Mirantis swarm isn't maintained by Docker Inc, and as such some Docker Compose features aren't accessible to swarm users.

The README section "Linux" states: Rename the relevant binary for your OS to docker-compose and copy it to $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins

The README section "Linux" states: /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
