By accessing the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Use of the website

You may read, share links to and reference our content for personal, educational and professional purposes. You must not use the website in any way that is unlawful, harmful or that interferes with its operation.

Intellectual property

Original text, design and graphics on this website are the property of dockercompose.net unless stated otherwise. Short excerpts may be quoted with clear attribution and a link to the source page. docker compose itself is open-source software licensed under the Apache License 2.0 by its respective copyright holders.

Third-party links

The website links to external resources, including the official docker compose repository on GitHub. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

Downloads

All software downloads are served by third parties. You are responsible for verifying the integrity of downloaded files and for complying with their licences.

No warranty

Content is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that information is complete, current or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, dockercompose.net shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website or reliance on its content, including data loss or system downtime resulting from configuration changes.

We may amend these terms at any time. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction in which the website operator is established.

Scope of docker compose guidance

The examples illustrate application services, networks, configuration and persistent storage; they are not a managed deployment service. Their suitability depends on your operating system, Compose plugin version and application requirements. A source-code ZIP is distinct from a ready-made installer, and the relevant upstream software licence continues to apply to downloaded code.
