</pre> <p>You can use Docker Compose binary, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose [-f &lt;arg&gt;...] [options] [COMMAND] [ARGS...]</code>, to build and manage multiple services in Docker containers.</p> <h2 id="use--f-to-specify-name-and-path-of-one-or-more-compose-files">Use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> to specify name and path of one or more Compose files</h2> <p>Use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> flag to specify the location of a Compose configuration file.</p> <h3 id="specifying-multiple-compose-files">Specifying multiple Compose files</h3> <p>You can supply multiple <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> configuration files. When you supply multiple files, Compose combines them into a single configuration. Compose builds the configuration in the order you supply the files. Subsequent files override and add to their predecessors.</p> <p>For example, consider this command line:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight" data-language="">$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.admin.yml run backup_db
</pre></div> <p>The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> file might specify a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">webapp</code> service.</p> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight" data-language="">webapp:
  image: examples/web
  ports:
    - "8000:8000"
  volumes:
    - "/data"
</pre></div> <p>If the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.admin.yml</code> also specifies this same service, any matching fields override the previous file. New values, add to the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">webapp</code> service configuration.</p> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight" data-language="">webapp:
  build: .
  environment:
    - DEBUG=1
</pre></div> <p>When you use multiple Compose files, all paths in the files are relative to the first configuration file specified with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code>. You can use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">--project-directory</code> option to override this base path.</p> <p>Use a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-</code> (dash) as the filename to read the configuration from <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">stdin</code>. When <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">stdin</code> is used all paths in the configuration are relative to the current working directory.</p> <p>The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> flag is optional. If you don’t provide this flag on the command line, Compose traverses the working directory and its parent directories looking for a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> and a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.override.yml</code> file. You must supply at least the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> file. If both files are present on the same directory level, Compose combines the two files into a single configuration.</p> <p>The configuration in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.override.yml</code> file is applied over and in addition to the values in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> file.</p> <h3 id="specifying-a-path-to-a-single-compose-file">Specifying a path to a single Compose file</h3> <p>You can use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> flag to specify a path to a Compose file that is not located in the current directory, either from the command line or by setting up a <a href="envvars/index#compose_file">COMPOSE_FILE environment variable</a> in your shell or in an environment file.</p> <p>For an example of using the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> option at the command line, suppose you are running the <a href="https://docs.docker.com/samples/rails/">Compose Rails sample</a>, and have a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> file in a directory called <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">sandbox/rails</code>. You can use a command like <a href="pull/index">docker-compose pull</a> to get the postgres image for the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">db</code> service from anywhere by using the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-f</code> flag as follows: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker-compose -f ~/sandbox/rails/docker-compose.yml pull db</code></p> <p>Here’s the full example:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight" data-language="">$ docker-compose -f ~/sandbox/rails/docker-compose.yml pull db

</pre></div> <h2 id="use--p-to-specify-a-project-name">Use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-p</code> to specify a project name</h2> <p>Each configuration has a project name. If you supply a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-p</code> flag, you can specify a project name. If you don’t specify the flag, Compose uses the current directory name.
