Install and Use Docker Compose on Fedora 33/32/31/30/29

Docker Compose is a tool used to define and run multi-container Docker applications. The application services are configured using a Compose file. Unlike running docker commands, a single command is all that’s required to create and start all the services from your configuration.

Docker Compose is a great tool for development, testing, and staging environments,
as well as CI workflows. Install it on your Fedora using the steps provided below.

Step 1: Install Docker Engine

Docker Compose requires Docker Engine to be installed on the host system before it can be used. Install Docker on Fedora system using our guide below.

Step 2: Install Docker Compose on Fedora 33/32/31/30

After the Docker Engine has been installed, the next step is the installation of Docker Compose on Fedora 30/29/28. There are two ways you can install Docker Compose on Fedora.

• Install Docker Compose on Fedora from RPM repository
• Install from Source binary file

Install Docker Compose on Fedora 33/32/31/30 from the repo

If you would like to install the version of Docker Compose available on Fedora upstream repository, just run the command:

sudo dnf -y install docker-compose

This may not install the most current version of Docker Compose. You can check what is installed using the rpm command.

Summary     : Multi-container orchestration for Docker
Description :
Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker
applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your
application's services. Then, using a single command, you create and
start all the services from your configuration.

Install Docker Compose on Fedora from a binary file.

Please check the latest release of Docker Compose on the Official Compose releases page before downloading.

Install wget:

sudo dnf -y install wget

Download latest compose

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest \
  | grep browser_download_url \
  | grep docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 \
  | cut -d '"' -f 4 \
  | wget -qi -

Make the binary file executable.

chmod +x docker-compose-Linux-x86_64

Move the file to your PATH.

sudo mv docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

The command above will save the file to /usr/local/bin/docker-compose. Apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Validate version:

$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.28.6, build 5db8d86f

Step 3: Configure Compose Command-line completion

Compose comes with command completion for the bash and zsh shell.

For Bash users

Place the completion script in /etc/bash_completion.d/.

sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose/master/contrib/completion/bash/docker-compose -o /etc/bash_completion.d/docker-compose

For Zsh users

Download the completion script in your ~/.zsh/completion/

mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose/${VER}/contrib/completion/zsh/_docker-compose > ~/.zsh/completion/_docker-compose

Include the directory in your $fpath by adding in ~/.zshrc:

fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)

Make sure compinit is loaded or do it by adding in ~/.zshrc:

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -i

Then reload your shell:

exec $SHELL -l
