[[howto.docker-compose.sharing-services]]
=== Sharing services between multiple applications

If you want to share services between multiple applications, create the `compose.yaml` file in one of the applications and then use the configuration property configprop:spring.docker.compose.file[] in the other applications to reference the `compose.yaml` file.
You should also set configprop:spring.docker.compose.lifecycle-management[] to `start-only`, as it defaults to `start-and-stop` and stopping one application would shut down the shared services for the other still running applications, too.
Setting it to `start-only` won't stop the shared services on application stop, but a caveat is that if you shut down all applications, the services stay running.
You can stop the services manually by running `docker compose stop` on the commandline in the directory which contains the `compose.yaml` file.
