Alternatively you can set that var to a versioned image tag like `version-1.27.4` or `version-alpine-1.27.4` to pin it to a specific docker-compose version. +### Install Option 2: We also publish binaries for docker-compose in [this repo](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose/releases). There are two versions, one for glibc based systems like Ubuntu and Debian, and one for musl based systems like Alpine. The latter are marked with the `alpine` tag. Each version contains binaries for `amd64`, `armhf` and `arm64`. You can pull these binaries into your system via the following commands to have a functional docker-compose install: ``` sudo curl -L --fail https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose/releases/download/1.27.4-ls17/docker-compose-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose ``` -## Single service +## Single service Usage Here's a basic example for deploying a Linuxserver container with docker-compose: @@ -52,7 +54,7 @@ If you want to do it from a different folder or if you named the yaml file diffe To bring down the services, simply do `docker-compose down` or `docker-compose -f /path/to/heimdall.yml down` and all containers defined by the yml will be stopped and destroyed. -## Multiple Services +## Multiple Service Usage You can have multiple services managed by a single compose yaml.
