Why is a Compose file required?
A Compose file (compose.yml) defines how your application's containers should run together, including:
- Services (e.g., web, database, API)
- Networks for inter-container communication
- Volumes for persistent data storage
- Environment variables and configurations
Without a Compose file, Docker Projects doesn't have a way to understand how your application should be structured or executed.
What if my project doesn’t have a Compose file?
If your project doesn't include a compose.yml file, you need to create one before opening it in Docker Projects.
