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.
Contents
- Samples of Docker Compose applications with multiple integrated services.
- Single service samples.
- Basic setups for different platforms (not production ready - useful for personal use).

Getting started
These instructions will get you through the bootstrap phase of creating and deploying samples of containerized applications with Docker Compose.
Prerequisites
- Make sure that you have Docker and Docker Compose installed
- Windows or macOS: Install Docker Desktop
- Linux: Install Docker and then Docker Compose
- Download some or all of the samples from this repository.
Running a sample
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
