Frequently asked questions

Which Compose version does this use?

It uses the modern Compose specification, which no longer needs a top-level version key — just a services block. It works with recent Docker Compose v2.

What restart policy should I pick?

unless-stopped keeps the container running across reboots but respects a manual stop, which suits most services. Use on-failure for one-off jobs and always for critical daemons.
