Synopsis

• Consumes docker compose to start, shutdown and scale services.
• Works with compose versions 1 and 2.
• Compose can be read from a docker-compose.yml (or .yaml) file or inline using the definition option.
• See the examples for more details.
• Supports check mode.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.6
• docker-py >= 1.8.0
• Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). For Python 2.6, docker-py must be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install the docker Python module. Note that both modules should not be installed at the same time. Also note that when both modules are installed and one of them is uninstalled, the other might no longer function and a reinstall of it is required.
• docker-compose >= 1.7.0
• Docker API >= 1.20
• PyYAML >= 3.11
