Compose spec with Podman Desktop

Introduction​

Podman Desktop supports the Compose spec. With Podman Desktop, users can easily create and manage multi-container applications by using Compose files.

How does it work​

Each time you run a Compose file by using Podman Compose or Docker Compose a label is assigned to each container. Podman Desktop detects that label and shows it appropriately within the management console.

What do you need to enable​

Containers deployed by the Compose specification are automatically detected by Podman Desktop.

What if you already have Docker Compose or Podman Compose installed​

Any containers already deployed by Docker Compose / Podman Compose will be automatically shown within Podman Desktop. You do not need to do anything!
