{ .warning }
The Compose file is a [YAML](https://yaml.org) file defining services,
networks, and volumes for a Docker application.
The Compose file formats are now described in these references, specific to each version.
| **Reference file** | **What changed in this version** |
|:------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------|
| [Version 3](compose-file-v3.md) | [Version 3 updates](#version-3) |
| [Version 2](compose-file-v2.md) | [Version 2 updates](#version-2) |
| Version 1 (Deprecated) | [Version 1 updates](#version-1-deprecated) |
The topics below explain the differences among the versions, Docker Engine
compatibility, and [how to upgrade](#upgrading).
## Compatibility matrix
{{< include "content/compose-matrix.md" >}}
<!-- markdownlint-disable reference-links-images -->
> Looking for more detail on Docker and Compose compatibility?
>
> We recommend keeping up-to-date with newer releases as much as possible.
However, if you are using an older version of Docker and want to determine which
Compose release is compatible, refer to the [Compose release
notes](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/). Each set of release notes
gives details on which versions of Docker Engine are supported, along
with compatible Compose file format versions. (See also, the discussion in
[issue #3404]({{% param "repo" %}}/issues/3404).)
<!-- markdownlint-enable reference-links-images -->
For details on versions and how to upgrade, see
[Versioning](compose-versioning.md#versioning) and
[Upgrading](compose-versioning.md#upgrading).
## Versioning
There are three legacy versions of the Compose file format:
- Version 1. This is specified by omitting a `version` key at the root of the YAML.
- Version 2.x. This is specified with a `version: '2'` or `version: '2.1'`, etc., entry at the root of the YAML.
- Version 3.x, designed to be cross-compatible between Compose and the Docker Engine's
[swarm mode](../../engine/swarm/index.md). This is specified with a `version: '3'` or `version: '3.1'`, etc., entry at the root of the YAML.
The latest and recommended version of the Compose file format is defined by the [Compose Specification](https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spec.md). This format merges the 2.x and 3.x versions and is implemented by **Compose 1.27.0+**.
The [Compatibility Matrix](#compatibility-matrix) shows Compose file versions mapped to Docker Engine releases.
To move your project to a later version, see the [Upgrading](#upgrading)
section.
> **Note**
>
> If you're using [multiple Compose files](../multiple-compose-files/_index.md) or
> [extending services](../multiple-compose-files/extends.md),
> each file must be of the same version - you cannot, for example,
> mix version 1 and 2 in a single project.
Several things differ depending on which version you use:
- The structure and permitted configuration keys
- The minimum Docker Engine version you must be running
- Compose's behaviour with regards to networking
These differences are explained below.
### Version 2
Compose files using the version 2 syntax must indicate the version number at
the root of the document. All [services](compose-file-v2.md#service-configuration-reference)
must be declared under the `services` key.
Version 2 files are supported by **Compose 1.6.0+** and require a Docker Engine
of version **1.10.0+**.
Named [volumes](compose-file-v2.md#volume-configuration-reference) can be declared under the
`volumes` key, and [networks](compose-file-v2.md#network-configuration-reference) can be declared
under the `networks` key.
By default, every container joins an application-wide default network, and is
discoverable at a hostname that's the same as the service name. This means
[links](compose-file-v2.md#links) are largely unnecessary. For more details, see
[Networking in Compose](../networking.md).
> **Note**
>
> With Compose version 2, when specifying the Compose file version to use, make sure to
> specify both the _major_ and _minor_ numbers. If no minor version is given,
> `0` is used by default and not the latest minor version. As a result, features added in later versions will not be supported. For example:
>
> ```yaml
> version: "2"
> ```
>
> is equivalent to:
>
> ```yaml
> version: "2.0"
> ```
Simple example:
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v2" %}}"
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "8000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
redis:
image: redis
A more extended example, defining volumes and networks:
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v2" %}}"
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "8000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
networks:
- front-tier
- back-tier
redis:
image: redis
volumes:
- redis-data:/var/lib/redis
networks:
- back-tier
volumes:
redis-data:
driver: local
networks:
front-tier:
driver: bridge
back-tier:
driver: bridge
Several other options were added to support networking, such as:
* [`aliases`](compose-file-v2.md#aliases)
* The [`depends_on`](compose-file-v2.md#depends_on) option can be used in place of links to indicate dependencies
between services and startup order.
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v2" %}}"
services:
web:
build: .
depends_on:
- db
- redis
redis:
image: redis
db:
image: postgres
* [`ipv4_address`, `ipv6_address`](compose-file-v2.md#ipv4_address-ipv6_address)
[Variable substitution](compose-file-v2.md#variable-substitution) also was added in Version 2.

configurations. This option is only supported when deploying swarm services
using `docker stack deploy`.
### Version 1 (Deprecated)
Compose versions below 1.6.x are
Compose files that do not declare a version are considered "version 1". In those
files, all the [services](compose-file-v3.md#service-configuration-reference) are
declared at the root of the document.
Version 1 is supported by Compose up to 1.6.x** and has been deprecated.
Version 1 files cannot declare named
[volumes](compose-file-v3.md#volume-configuration-reference), [networks](compose-file-v3.md#network-configuration-reference) or
[build arguments](compose-file-v3.md#args).
Compose does not take advantage of [networking](../networking.md) when you
use version 1: every container is placed on the default `bridge` network and is
reachable from every other container at its IP address. You need to use
`links` to enable discovery between containers.
Example:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "8000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
links:
- redis
redis:
image: redis
## Upgrading
### Version 2.x to 3.x
Between versions 2.x and 3.x, the structure of the Compose file is the same, but
several options have been removed:
- `volume_driver`: Instead of setting the volume driver on the service, define
a volume using the
[top-level `volumes` option](compose-file-v3.md#volume-configuration-reference)
and specify the driver there.
version: "3.8"
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
data:
driver: mydriver
- `volumes_from`: To share a volume between services, define it using the
[top-level `volumes` option](compose-file-v3.md#volume-configuration-reference)
and reference it from each service that shares it using the
[service-level `volumes` option](compose-file-v3.md#driver).
- `cpu_shares`, `cpu_quota`, `cpuset`, `mem_limit`, `memswap_limit`: These
have been replaced by the [resources](compose-file-v3.md#resources) key under
`deploy`. `deploy` configuration only takes effect when using
`docker stack deploy`, and is ignored by `docker-compose`.
- `extends`: This option has been removed for `version: "3.x"` Compose files.
For more information on `extends`, see
[Extending services](../multiple-compose-files/extends.md).
- `group_add`: This option has been removed for `version: "3.x"` Compose files.
- `pids_limit`: This option has not been introduced in `version: "3.x"` Compose files.
- `link_local_ips` in `networks`: This option has not been introduced in
`version: "3.x"` Compose files.
#### Compatibility mode
`docker-compose` 1.20.0 introduces a new `--compatibility` flag designed to
help developers transition to version 3 more easily. When enabled,
`docker-compose` reads the `deploy` section of each service's definition and
attempts to translate it into the equivalent version 2 parameter. Currently,
the following deploy keys are translated:
- [resources](compose-file-v3.md#resources) limits and memory reservations
- [replicas](compose-file-v3.md#replicas)
- [restart_policy](compose-file-v3.md#restart_policy) `condition` and `max_attempts`
All other keys are ignored and produce a warning if present. You can review
the configuration that will be used to deploy by using the `--compatibility`
flag with the `config` command.
> Do not use this in production
>
> We recommend against using `--compatibility` mode in production. The
> resulting configuration is only an approximate using non-Swarm mode
> properties, it may produce unexpected results.
### Version 1 to 2.x
In the majority of cases, moving from version 1 to 2 is a very simple process:
1. Indent the whole file by one level and put a `services:` key at the top.
2. Add a `version: '2'` line at the top of the file.
It's more complicated if you're using particular configuration features:
- `dockerfile`: This now lives under the `build` key:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile-alternate
- `log_driver`, `log_opt`: These now live under the `logging` key:
logging:
driver: syslog
options:
syslog-address: "tcp://192.168.0.42:123"
- `links` with environment variables: environment variables created by
links, such as `CONTAINERNAME_PORT`, ` have been deprecated for some time. In the new Docker network system,
they have been removed. You should either connect directly to the
appropriate hostname or set the relevant environment variable yourself,
using the link hostname:
web:
links:
- db
environment:
- DB_PORT=tcp://db:5432
- `external_links`: Compose uses Docker networks when running version 2
projects, so links behave slightly differently. In particular, two
containers must be connected to at least one network in common in order to
communicate, even if explicitly linked together.
Either connect the external container to your app's
[default network](../networking.md), or connect both the external container and
your service's containers to an
[external network](../networking.md#use-a-pre-existing-network).
- `net`: This is now replaced by [network_mode](compose-file-v3.md#network_mode):
net: host -> network_mode: host
net: bridge -> network_mode: bridge
net: none -> network_mode: none
If you're using `net: "container:[service name]"`, you must now use
`network_mode: "service:[service name]"` instead.
net: "container:web" -> network_mode: "service:web"
If you're using `net: "container:[container name/id]"`, the value does not
need to change.
net: "container:cont-name" -> network_mode: "container:cont-name"
net: "container:abc12345" -> network_mode: "container:abc12345"
- `volumes` with named volumes: these must now be explicitly declared in a
top-level `volumes` section of your Compose file. If a service mounts a
named volume called `data`, you must declare a `data` volume in your
top-level `volumes` section. The whole file might look like this:
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v2" %}}"
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
data: {}
By default, Compose creates a volume whose name is prefixed with your
project name. If you want it to just be called `data`, declare it as
external:
volumes:
data:
external: true

The legacy versions of the Compose file reference has moved to the [V1 branch of the Compose repository](https://github.com/docker/compose/tree/v1/docs). They are no longer being actively maintained.
The latest and recommended version of the Compose file format is defined by the [Compose Specification](_index.md). This format merges the 2.x and 3.x versions and is implemented by **Compose 1.27.0+**. For more information, see the[History and development of Docker Compose](../intro/history.md).

It is possible to re-use configuration fragments using extension fields. Those
special fields can be of any format as long as they are located at the root of
your Compose file and their name start with the `x-` character sequence.
> **Note**
>
> Starting with the 3.7 format (for the 3.x series) and 2.4 format
> (for the 2.x series), extension fields are also allowed at the root
> of service, volume, network, config and secret definitions.
```yaml
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v3" %}}"
x-custom:
items:
- a
- b
options:
max-size: '12m'
name: "custom"
```
The contents of those fields are ignored by Compose, but they can be
inserted in your resource definitions using [YAML anchors](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2765878).
For example, if you want several of your services to use the same logging
configuration:
```yaml
logging:
options:
max-size: '12m'
max-file: '5'
driver: json-file
```
You may write your Compose file as follows:
```yaml
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v3" %}}"
x-logging:
&default-logging
options:
max-size: '12m'
max-file: '5'
driver: json-file
services:
web:
image: myapp/web:latest
logging: *default-logging
db:
image: mysql:latest
logging: *default-logging
```
It is also possible to partially override values in extension fields using
the [YAML merge type](https://yaml.org/type/merge.html). For example:
```yaml
version: "{{% param "compose_file_v3" %}}"
x-volumes:
&default-volume
driver: foobar-storage
services:
web:
image: myapp/web:latest
volumes: ["vol1", "vol2", "vol3"]

itself is on a release schedule, as shown in [Compose
releases](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/), but file format versions
do not necessarily increment with each release. For example, Compose file format
3.0 was first introduced in [Compose release
1.10.0](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.10.0), and versioned
gradually in subsequent releases.
The latest Compose file format is defined by the [Compose Specification](https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spec.md) and is implemented by Docker Compose **1.27.0+**.

Your configuration options can contain environment variables. Compose uses the
variable values from the shell environment in which `docker compose` is run. For
example, suppose the shell contains `POSTGRES_VERSION=9.3` and you supply this
configuration:
```yaml
db:
image: "postgres:${POSTGRES_VERSION}"
```
When you run `docker compose up` with this configuration, Compose looks for the
`POSTGRES_VERSION` environment variable in the shell and substitutes its value
in. For this example, Compose resolves the `image` to `postgres:9.3` before
running the configuration.
If an environment variable is not set, Compose substitutes with an empty
string. In the example above, if `POSTGRES_VERSION` is not set, the value for
the `image` option is `postgres:`.
You can set default values for environment variables using a
[`.env` file](/compose/env-file/), which Compose automatically looks for in
project directory (parent folder of your Compose file).
Values set in the shell environment override those set in the `.env` file.
> Note when using docker stack deploy
>
> The `.env file` feature only works when you use the `docker compose up` command
> and does not work with `docker stack deploy`.

Both `$VARIABLE` and `${VARIABLE}` syntax are supported. Additionally when using
the [2.1 file format](/compose/compose-file/compose-versioning/#version-21), it is possible to
provide inline default values using typical shell syntax:
- `${VARIABLE:-default}` evaluates to `default` if `VARIABLE` is unset or
empty in the environment.
- `${VARIABLE-default}` evaluates to `default` only if `VARIABLE` is unset
in the environment.
Similarly, the following syntax allows you to specify mandatory variables:
- `${VARIABLE:?err}` exits with an error message containing `err` if
`VARIABLE` is unset or empty in the environment.
- `${VARIABLE?err}` exits with an error message containing `err` if
`VARIABLE` is unset in the environment.
Other extended shell-style features, such as `${VARIABLE/foo/bar}`, are not
supported.
You can use a `$$` (double-dollar sign) when your configuration needs a literal
dollar sign. This also prevents Compose from interpolating a value, so a `$$`
allows you to refer to environment variables that you don't want processed by
Compose.
```yaml
web:
build: .
command: "$$VAR_NOT_INTERPOLATED_BY_COMPOSE"
```
If you forget and use a single dollar sign (`$`), Compose interprets the value
as an environment variable and warns you:
```console
The VAR_NOT_INTERPOLATED_BY_COMPOSE is not set. Substituting an empty string.
```

One of the really cool features of Docker Compose is [variable substitution](../../compose/compose-file/12-interpolation.md). You can see some examples in the Compose file, `environment` section. By means of an example:
* `PGUSER=${PGUSER:-totoro}` means that inside the container, the environment variable `PGUSER` shall be set to the same value as it has on the host machine where Docker Compose is run. If there is no environment variable with this name on the host machine, the variable inside the container gets the default value of `totoro`.
* `PGPASSWORD=${PGPASSWORD:?database password not set}` means that if the environment variable `PGPASSWORD` isn't set on the host, Docker Compose will display an error. This is OK, because you don't want to hard-code default values for the password. You set the password value in the `.env` file, which is local to your machine. It is always a good idea to add `.env` to `.gitignore` to prevent the secrets being checked into the version control.
Other ways of dealing with undefined or empty values exist, as documented in the [variable substitution](../../compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3.md#variable-substitution) section of the Docker documentation.
