[{"selector":"#anim-a6dbe44a-8fb6-415f-bfa2-a37defc4accb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-03a8ad77-5601-4956-916a-543022b7ac70","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 619.09706%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

For a beginner, the term docker and docker-compose might seems confusing.

[{"selector":"#anim-38473c78-c0c8-42c5-88c6-bbc14b0d5824","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8137e27e-3199-4017-9871-17394f54ec14","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 203.53538%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

So what exactly is the difference between docker and docker-compose?

[{"selector":"#anim-664293a3-26a0-4aa4-8cb5-912f0195bc5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1f6d94f-f9bd-49ea-8b3e-afe9aebcacad","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 203.53538%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In a nutshell, docker manages single containers.

[{"selector":"#anim-1bc3182f-5f97-476b-aac5-8327501c9446","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-385029f9-705f-4806-b3ef-3c0ef3d92065","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.45209%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While docker-compose manages multiple containers.

[{"selector":"#anim-dec3751c-f1a5-4c43-a863-dced780c1eaa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e59632e-1540-4e89-952e-d578eab132b6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.45209%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Docker container will start from the instruction written in dockerfile.

[{"selector":"#anim-1444bd49-822b-4f29-af5a-52a6c3020816","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-337aaf5d-30a1-488e-8935-3683c8ddab79","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.45209%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The docker-compose.yml file is required to start containers using docker-compose.

[{"selector":"#anim-85d07933-30d9-43e0-9fc6-2d414094be96","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04e71600-d719-4be3-a59e-77cb4c07af2a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 203.53538%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The user needs to type the below command to start a docker container

[{"selector":"#anim-413b071e-d389-4072-b54c-561ee1d3af4b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02871933-0bfc-42e1-8adb-efa622011e3f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.45209%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a207dcb5-2b41-44d9-9fb9-f0be8bdaa21d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54a66154-0fb9-4bc6-8b9a-16cb29a970ce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 521.88505%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6792b56f-511b-4000-937f-dc9bc499cc1b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88215342-a3cf-4f5b-9854-d90c80bfbed5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 352.18837%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Type the below command to start containers from a compose file.

[{"selector":"#anim-d21ea844-8fa8-4e6a-98e8-aeaf18737f89","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d3543ee5-1257-4a12-8ab4-3d38c05f983e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.45209%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbd2c7ca-8bcd-4953-961e-5bcca033aef0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14abc100-85a0-42d1-8dcf-67ca00193b38","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 521.88505%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
