[2]	Install Docker Compose.

root@dlp:~#

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.35.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

root@dlp:~#

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

root@dlp:~#

/usr/local/bin/docker-compose --version

Docker Compose version v2.35.1

[3]	For example, Configure an application that has Web and DB services with Docker Compose.

# start podman.socket

root@dlp:~#

systemctl start podman.socket

# define Web service container

root@dlp:~#

vi Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER ServerWorld <admin@srv.world>

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install nginx
RUN echo "Compose Test on Nginx" > /var/www/html/index.html

EXPOSE 80
CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

# define application configuration

root@dlp:~#

vi docker-compose.yml
