Docker is a great tool for automating the deployment of Linux applications inside software containers, but to take full advantage of its potential, each component of an application should run in its own individual container. For complex applications with a lot of components, orchestrating all the containers to start up, communicate, and shut down together can quickly become unwieldy.
The Docker community came up with a popular solution called Fig, which allowed you to use a single YAML file to orchestrate all your Docker containers and configurations. This became so popular that the Docker team decided to make Docker Compose based on the Fig source, which is now deprecated.
Docker Compose makes it easier for users to orchestrate the processes of Docker containers, including starting up, shutting down, and setting up intra-container linking and volumes. In this tutorial, you’ll install the latest version of Docker Compose to manage multi-container applications.

** Great article! **
No problem executing all the code, I tested with a Droplet Ubuntu 18.04.2 x64 1 vCPUs 3GB / 60GB and installed:
docker-compose version 1.23.2, build 1110ad01
Thanks a lot!
I think it would be better to use
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/latest/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
rather than what you have listed:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Hello…I was able to successfully install docker compose following the tutorial but I need to uninstall it and install version 1.2.9. Normally I should use sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose but on checking the bin folder, the docker-compose executable isn’t there. I have checked the other bin and sbin locations and it is not there either.
Thanks :)
