+# Docker Compose
+
+Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.
+
+Here's a basic example for deploying a Linuxserver container with docker-compose:
+
+```yaml
+version: "2"
+services:
+  heimdall:
+    image: linuxserver/heimdall
+    container_name: heimdall
+    mem_limit: 256m
+    volumes:
+      - /opt/appdata/heimdall:/config
+    environment:
+      - PUID: 1050
+      - PGID: 1050
+    restart: unless-stopped
+```
+
+Defining the containers running on your server as code is a core tenet of a "Devops" approach to the world. Constructing elaborate `docker run` commands and then forgetting which variables you passed is a thing of the past when using `docker-compose`.
+
+## Tips & Tricks
+
+`docker-compose` expects a `docker-compose.yml` file in the current directory and if one isn't present it will complain. In order to improve your quality of life we suggest the use of bash aliases.
+
+Create the file `~/.bash_aliases` and populate with the following content:
+
+```bash
+alias dcp='docker-compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml '
+alias dcpull='docker-compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml pull --parallel'
+alias dclogs='docker-compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml logs -tf --tail="50" '
+alias dtail='docker logs -tf --tail="50" "$@"'
+```
+
+You'll need to add the following to your `~/.bashrc` file in order for the aliases file to be picked up:
+
+```bash
+if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
+    . ~/.bash_aliases
+fi
+```
+
+Once configured, log out and the log in again. Now you can type `dcpull` or `dcp up -d` to manage your entire fleet of containers at once. It's like magic.
