Mirror the volume reconciliation work (#13962) for networks: move network divergence detection and recreation out of the imperative pre-reconcile path (ensureNetwork/resolveOrCreateNetwork/removeDivergedNetwork) into the reconciliation plan. - reconcileNetworks now owns creation of missing networks and, for a network whose config-hash diverged, an explicit recreation sequence (no user confirmation: recreating a network is not destructive): stop containers -> disconnect -> remove network -> create network -> reconnect containers. Attached containers keep their identity (they are reconnected, not recreated), matching the previous behavior. If a container is independently recreated by reconcileContainers, its removal is ordered after the reconnect so they don't race. - Renaming a network creates the new one additively and leaves the old one untouched. - collectObservedState discovers legacy/unlabeled networks by name and records them as unmanaged matches (empty config-hash) so the reconciler reuses them untouched; ownership warnings move to warnUnmanagedNetworks. checkExternalNetworks keeps external-network validation/resolution. - execCreateNetwork now issues a plain createNetwork; the imperative ensureNetwork/resolveOrCreateNetwork/removeDivergedNetwork and the connect/disconnect helpers are removed. Adds reconcile, observed-state and executor tests covering network create/diverge/rename, the entangled diverge+recreate case, legacy by-name discovery and the ownership warnings.

Docker Compose
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.
Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a
single command: docker compose up.
Note
: About Docker Swarm Docker Swarm used to rely on the legacy compose file format but did not adopt the compose specification so is missing some of the recent enhancements in the compose syntax. After acquisition by Mirantis swarm isn't maintained by Docker Inc, and as such some Docker Compose features aren't accessible to swarm users.
Where to get Docker Compose
Windows and macOS
Docker Compose is included in Docker Desktop for Windows and macOS.
Linux
You can download Docker Compose binaries from the release page on this repository.
Rename the relevant binary for your OS to docker-compose and copy it to $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins
Or copy it into one of these folders to install it system-wide:
/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-pluginsOR/usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/usr/lib/docker/cli-pluginsOR/usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
(might require making the downloaded file executable with chmod +x)
Quick Start
Using Docker Compose is a three-step process:
- Define your app's environment with a
Dockerfileso it can be reproduced anywhere. - Define the services that make up your app in
compose.yamlso they can be run together in an isolated environment. - Lastly, run
docker compose upand Compose will start and run your entire app.
A Compose file looks like this:
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
redis:
image: redis
