## Docker compose
Docker-Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your applications services.
The steps to use docker-compose are
```
1)create a Dockerfile which defines the image and can be producible every where.
```
```
2)create a docker-compose yml file to run the services
```
```
3)use docker-compose up to start the sevices specified in docker-compose.yml file
```
#### Basic commands in docker-compose
* Command to run docker-containers
```
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
```
* Command to run containers in detached mode
```
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
```
* command to run containers after building the images again(note: first time we run docker containers build will happen automatically)
```

```
* Command to stop containers when we run in detached mode
```
