A curated list of Docker Compose samples.
These samples provide a starting point for how to integrate different services using a Compose file and to manage their deployment with Docker Compose.
Note The following samples are intended for use in local development environments such as project setups, tinkering with software stacks, etc. These samples must not be deployed in production environments.
Icon indicates Sample is compatible with Docker Dev Environments in Docker Desktop version 4.10 or later.

These instructions will get you through the bootstrap phase of creating and deploying samples of containerized applications with Docker Compose.
The root directory of each sample contains the compose.yaml
which
describes the configuration of service components. All samples can be run in
a local environment by going into the root directory of each one and executing:
docker compose up -d
Check the README.md
of each sample to get more details on the structure and
what is the expected output.
To stop and remove all containers of the sample application run:
docker compose down
We welcome examples that help people understand how to use Docker Compose for common applications. Check the Contribution Guide for more details.
