Style Guide

I like consistency and readability/understandability. As such, I've defined myself a Boilerplate Style Guide for when creating new docker compose files. On a case by case basis, I may go against this template if it makes sense.

The official documentation for how the Docker Compose specification works can be found here.

Note that, starting with Docker Compose 1.27.0+, it is no longer necessary to specify the Docker Compose version (i.e. version: "3.1) as this option has been deprecated.

The order of operations for how the cap_add and cap_drop options can be found here or reference the image below:

You can name Docker Compose files hower you like as long as it has a .yml or .yaml extension. However, if you name it anything other than docker-compose.yml or docker-compose.yaml, you must pass the filename in the docker compose command. i.e. docker compose <DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE> up -d

I've left the default host side ports in these boilerplates. Which means several of them would conflict with each other. Please update accordingly to your setup.

I use custom networks for all of my containers that are able to utilize them. Feel free to adjust to your own setup.
