I've been using docker-compose successfully for a few weeks now, but I'm curious (to those that also use it) what is your strategy for auto-starting containers on boot / on array start? It's not a huge imposition to log in and do a `docker-compose up -d` in the rare instance when my server reboots, but it would be nice for it to be more hands-off.

Just add those lines to download docker-compose in the go file and have the user scripts plug-in run a few lines of docker-compose commands after array start?

 

I haven’t set it up tho as I manually unlock my encrypted array anyways.

Good answer, this question gets asked so often, I wish someone would just include it in dev tools or something.  Clearly there's demand.

is there a place we could vote for native docker compose support in the unraid UI?

No but you can support this plugin in its endeavor: [Plugin] Docker Compose Manager - Plugin Support - Unraid

Looks like docker-compose is slowly creeping into unraid.
 

Docker Compose Manager

WebGUI integration is not yet implemented.

Been using the plugin since release.

Works perfectly

Curious, how are you using docker-compose?

Pre-face, I am using CA Backup. But I am wanting to automate the install of my docker containers using Ansible as a learning method. Instead of having me click through, and setup all the docker run parameters, they can all be contained in within a docker-compose template/file. Thoughts?

I created /mnt/cache/appdata/docker-compose.yaml

 

and run it with

 

docker compose -f /mnt/cache/appdata/docker-compose.yaml --compatibility up -d

Do you only use the docker-compose or are you building up your unraid server with ansible playbooks?

Docker-compose has since been merged into the docker engine!

It's available now as a sub-command: "docker compose".

Everyone should get this feature whenever the docker engine is updated on unraid past 20.10.14 and we will stop having to install it through a script.

Fantastic info!  This will be a great addition!

unraid 6.11rc already comes with docker engine 20.10.17

but "docker compose" is not valid

# docker compose
docker: 'compose' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'

 

so looks like docker-compose-plugin will still have to be installed.

Yeah i dont think this is exactly true. From what i can tell it looks like Docker Engine 20.10.13 began providing Docker Compose V2 as an optional package along with their releases. I dont think that translates into it being automatically being available on unRAID.
