With Podman Desktop, you can manage multi-container applications defined in a Compose file.
|
|
|
|
#### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Podman 4.7.0 or greater.
|
|
- [You have set up Compose](/docs/compose/setting-up-compose).
|
|
- [You have a Compose file](https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spec.md#compose-file), such as `compose.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
#### Procedure
|
|
|
|
- Run the command in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ podman compose --file compose.yaml up --detach
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>
|
|
|
|
(Alternatively) With an older Podman version, run `docker-compose`:
|
|
|
|
</summary>
|
|
1. [Set the DOCKER_HOST variable](/docs/migrating-from-docker/using-the-docker_host-environment-variable).
|
|
1. Run `docker-compose` rather than `podman compose`:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ docker-compose --file compose.yaml up --detach
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<summary>
|
|
|
|
(Optionally) Learn about Compose commands:
|
|
|
|
</summary>
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ podman compose --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
#### Verification
|
|
|
|
1. The Compose engine starts the containers and services, and adds a label to each resource:
|
|
- Container label: `com.docker.compose.project`
|
|
- Service label: `com.docker.compose.service`
|
|
|
|
1. Podman Desktop detects the Compose labels, and displays the container group as a group of containers.
|
|
|
|
The Podman Desktop **<Icon icon="fa-solid fa-cube" size="lg" /> Containers** list displays the containers created by Compose grouped in a container group with a `(compose)` suffix, such as `flask-redis (compose)`.
