That's a really great post full of cool details and best-practices! Thanks for sharing!

And of course, as an experienced developer, I turn the ashtray on my head for being too lazy to write such followup by myself. T’was just an opinion, as I like your style and I’d like to hear more from you. Cheers, Wod

You provided a great insight thorough the docker ecosystem, which I believe is great. The one thing I’m always disappointed about is that you stopped right where it becomes useful. Of course you can run a container you just built, but who does that nowadays? From my experience, there’s tons of tutorials on how to run a container and how it works. Where all of these (and this one too) fails is putting things together, using docker-compose, or pointing the newbie towards the right way. I’ve seen countless developers being stuck at this point, using ‘docker run’ commands from a makefile, being stuck at the point you finished the article at. Please, as an experienced user, at least provide a link to where to move from this point to your readers. Thanks! Wod

You are missing the version root field: version: "3.7" services: db: image: postgres environment: - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mydbsecretpassword wordpress: image: wordpress ports: - "8085:80" See https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/ for version reference
