Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application’s services. Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.
Dockerfile 可以让用户管理一个单独的应用容器；而 Compose 则允许用户在一个模板（YAML 格式）中定义一组相关联的应用容器（被称为一个 project，即项目），例如一个 Web 服务容器再加上后端的数据库服务容器等，就拿官网的 Python 例子来说，功能很简单，利用 redis 的 incr 的功能对页面的访问量进行统计。
docker-compose 的安装可以参考官网，如果安装了 Docker for Mac 或者 Docker for windows 则直接就存在了。
创建项目目录:
$ mkdir composetest
$ cd composetest创建 Python 的程序 app.py ，功能就是利用 redis 的 incr 方法进行访问计数。
from flask import Flask
from redis import Redis
app = Flask(__name__)
redis = Redis(host='redis', port=6379)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
redis.incr('hits')
return 'Hello World! I have been seen %s times.' % redis.get('hits')
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", debug=True)由于 Python 依赖的 flask、redis 组件都需要另外安装，比如使用 pip来安装，单独设置一文件 requirements.txt，内容如下:
flask
redis创建 service 依赖的第一个 image，app.py 程序的运行环境，利用 Dockerfile 来制作，内容如下:
FROM python:2.7 #基于 python:2.7 镜像
ADD . /code #将本地目录中的内容添加到 container 的 /code 目录下
WORKDIR /code #设置程序工作目录为 /code
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt #运行安装命令
CMD python app.py #启动程序Dockerfile 创建好就可以制作镜像了，运行docker build -t compose/python_app . ，成功后通过docker images查看即能看到:
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
compose/python_app latest a92fed00abd 59 minutes ago 680.4 MB接下来制作 docker-compose 需要的配置文件 docker-compose.yml， version 要选择 2 ，1的版本很古老了，配置中可以看到创建了 2 个 service，web 和 redis ，各自有依赖的镜像，其中web 开放 container 的5000端口，并与 host 的5000端口应对，方便通过 localhost:5000 来访问， volumes 即将本地目录中的文件加载到容器的 /code 中，depends_on 表名 services web 是依赖另一个 service redis的，完整的配置如下:
version: '2'
services:
web:
image: compose/python_app
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
depends_on:
- redis
redis:
image: redis前提都搞定了，就差最后一步启动了，命令 docker-compose up ，成功后如下:

docker-compose 还有很多实用的命令，比如 logs、build、start、stop 等，可以通过 docker-compose --help来查看:
Define and run multi-container applications with Docker.
Usage:
docker-compose [-f <arg>...] [options] [COMMAND] [ARGS...]
docker-compose -h|--help
