About Docker Compose V2
Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker defined using the Compose file format.
A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up your application are configured ([overview](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)).
This package contains Docker Compose V2 which is not a standalone binary anymore.
Therefore it depends on the [docker-cli](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/docker-cli) package.
To use Compose V2 through Docker type `docker compose ...`.
From July 2023 Docker Inc.'s support for Compose V1 and its Syntax (`docker-compose ...`) has ended ([link](https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/)).
