Docker Compose Wrapper

Use Docker Compose without installing it.

What it is

Docker Compose is a Python program that orchestrates Docker containers. But if you have Docker, you don't want to install and manage a Python program. So here is a bash function that runs a Docker container that runs Docker Compose... which runs Docker.

How to use it

Source the docker-compose-wrapper script from your .bashrc. Then, use docker-compose commands like usual.

Demo

$ . docker-compose-wrapper
$ type docker-compose
docker-compose is a function
docker-compose ()
...
$ docker-compose run --rm test
