In Ubuntu, docker-compose is a tool used for defining and running multiple Docker containers. You can configure and connect multiple containers, as well as manage them using the docker-compose command, all through a single docker-compose.yml file.

Common docker-compose commands include:

  1. Start all containers: docker-compose up
  2. docker-compose down: stop all containers.
  3. docker-compose build: build or rebuild all containers.
  4. docker-compose ps: Display the status of all containers.
  5. View logs of all containers using docker-compose.
  6. Execute a command in a container using docker-compose.

To use docker-compose in Ubuntu, you first need to install Docker and docker-compose. Installing Docker can be done by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io

After the installation is complete, you can use the following command to install docker-compose:

sudo apt-get install docker-compose

After the installation is complete, you can create a docker-compose.yml file and define your container configuration within it. Then you can manage these containers using the docker-compose commands listed above.
