Nicolas De Loof 0a64ff09a8 fix: address copilot-pull-request-reviewer's 3 findings on the hook-runner plan
A GitHub Copilot PR review (docker/compose#14221#pullrequestreview-5300897216)
found three real issues in the reconciliation-plan-based hook runners, all
confirmed by direct reproduction against a live daemon before being fixed:

- **Hook runners excluded from discovery, stale runners persist.**
  collectObservedState's single getContainers call requires ConfigHashLabel
  (getDefaultFilters), which hook runners deliberately never carry -- so they
  never reached the classification loop that populates HookContainers, and
  planPreStartHookRunners never saw a stale runner to purge. Reproduced: a
  failed hook run followed by a second `up` failed with "container name ...
  already in use" instead of recovering. Fixed by listing hook containers
  separately, by project+hook label alone (new getHookContainers), and
  merging them in before classification. Locked in by a new e2e scenario,
  TestPreStartHookRetryAfterFailureSucceeds, that reproduces the exact
  failure-then-retry sequence.

- **Prepared hook runners misclassified as service replicas.** start's
  containers.filter(isService(name), isNotOneOff) has no reason to exclude a
  hook runner: it carries the same project/service labels as a real replica
  and no one-off label either. Added isNotHookContainer to the filter chain
  in startService, so a hook runner is never counted as (or started as) a
  surviving replica.

- **Per-replica hooks create runners before unsupported configuration is
  rejected.** per_replica is not yet supported (#14259): runPreStart
  validates every hook up front and rejects the whole service before
  executing any of them, but planPreStartHookRunners had no equivalent
  check, so create/up would plan (and leave behind) runners for a service
  whose hooks could never run. Mirrored the same up-front, all-or-nothing
  validation in planPreStartHookRunners.

Docker Compose

GitHub release PkgGoDev Build Status Codecov OpenSSF Scorecard 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-plugins OR /usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
  • /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins OR /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:

  1. Define your app's environment with a Dockerfile so it can be reproduced anywhere.
  2. Define the services that make up your app in compose.yaml so they can be run together in an isolated environment.
  3. Lastly, run docker compose up and 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
