## When to use this skill
Use this skill whenever the user wants to:
- 用 docker-compose 定义多服务栈（services、networks、volumes）
- 本地或单机运行多容器（app、DB、缓存、队列）
- 管理环境变量、依赖顺序与健康检查
## How to use this skill
1. **配置**：`docker-compose.yml` 定义 services、image/build、ports、volumes、environment、depends_on；用 `profiles` 做可选服务。
2. **CLI**：`docker compose up -d`、`down`、`logs -f`、`ps`；override 用 `-f` 或 `docker-compose.override.yml`。
3. **环境**：`.env` 或 env_file 注入变量；secrets 用 Docker secrets 或外部方案。
### Example: docker-compose.yml with health check
```yaml
services:
app:
build: .
ports:
- "3000:3000"
depends_on:
db:
condition: service_healthy
environment:
DATABASE_URL: postgres://user:pass@db:5432/mydb
db:
image: postgres:16
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U user"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
volumes:
pgdata:
```
## Best Practices
- 服务间用内部网络；仅暴露必要端口。
- 数据卷命名或使用命名卷；避免依赖默认匿名卷路径。
- 生产多节点用 Kubernetes 或 Swarm；compose 适合开发与单机部署。
