Docker provides a container choreography tool, Docker Compose, which allows users to define a set of associated application containers in a template (YAML format). This set of containers will be based on the "– link" and other parameters in the configuration template. To automatically sort the priority of startup, simply execute a "Docker Compose up", you can create and start multiple containers in the same service in turn.

install

Method 1:
You can download it directly from github, provided that Docker is installed first, and the version is above 1.9.1

Note that Compose 1.8.0 requires Docker Engine 1.10.0 or later for version 2 of the Compose File format, and Docker Engine 1.9.1 or later for version 1.

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.19.0-rc3/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

During the actual operation, the request address returned 404, and the installation failed.

You can also use the run.sh script of pip or official website to install

Method two:
Install via pip.

The centos installation pip command is as follows:

# yum -y install epel-release
# yum install python-pip
# pip install --upgrade pip

The command to install Pip in ubuntu is as follows:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential 
$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip 
$ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv 

After pip installation, install compose:

pip install docker-compose

Check whether the installation is successful through the command:

docker-compose

View docker compose version

docker-compose -v

Problem record

Because ubuntu uses curl mode to install docker 18.01.0-ce version, using the above method to directly install docker compose succeeded in one time.

root@lei-VirtualBox:/# docker --version
Docker version 18.01.0-ce, build 03596f5
root@lei-VirtualBox:/# 
root@lei-VirtualBox:/# docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.18.0, build 8dd22a9

There was a problem installing centos. Install docker version 1.12.0 by default using yum. When installing docker compose in the above pip mode, run docker compose to report an error:

[root@localhost ~]# docker-compose
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlparse
ImportError: No module named urllib.parse

The solution at this time is as follows (do not understand the reason):

pip install docker_pycreds

Check the compose version again and fix the problem.

[root@localhost ~]# docker -v
Docker version 1.12.6, build 3e8e77d/1.12.6

[root@localhost ~]# docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.19.0, build 9e633ef
