Tangentially, it is a little irksome how the docker-compose tool is released completely independently from Docker itself. There are binaries published on GitHub for amd64, but if you want it on an ARM platform, you need to install with pip. But pip can't install system packages, so you also need to know the incantation to install those (python3 python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev).
I'm sure there's a historical reason for it not being `docker compose ...`, but it sounds like it's a good time to promote it.
- bdcravens 7y agoIt was an external project acquired by Docker (originally called "fig") https://www.docker.com/blog/welcoming-the-orchard-and-fig-team/ https://www.docker.com/blog/welcoming-the-orchard-and-fig-te... Of course that was six years ago, so it is a bit surprising they haven't done a deeper integration since then.
- fapjacks 7y agoRemember the outcry when Swarm was shipped as part of the core Docker binary? I wouldn't be surprised if this caused some kind of cooldown with respect to the binary assimilating features.
- justincormack 7y agoHi, from Docker here, yes that should have been done before, but the previous work was incomplete, we have started working on it again.
- ollien 7y agoHow will this differ from `docker stack`? Just that `docker stack` only reads old compose files?
- sdan 7y agoNot sure what you're saying, I can run ARM and regular AMD platform containers via docker compose without problems (other than I have to build ARM using buildx).
- rgovostes 7y agoI'm talking about installing the docker-compose tool itself, which is distributed via PyPI.
