Getting Started with Docker Compose Editor

Docker Compose Editor replaces complex workflows with a few clicks. Here's the process.

Configure Settings

Fill in the required configuration through the visual interface.

Review your settings and deploy with a single click.

Command Line Life

Doing It Manually Without Docker Compose Editor

Think Docker Compose Editor is overkill? Here's the alternative: raw terminal commands and manual config files.

SSH into your server

First, open your terminal and connect to your VPS.

terminal

ssh root@your-server-ip

Clone your repository

Navigate to your apps directory and clone the repo.

terminal

cd /opt/apps
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
cd your-repo

Create environment file

Manually create and configure your .env file.

terminal

nano .env
# Add all your environment variables one by one
# DATABASE_URL=...
# API_KEY=...
# SECRET_KEY=...

One wrong character and your app won't start. No validation, no hints.

Build the Docker image

Build your application image from the Dockerfile.

terminal

docker build -t myapp:latest .
# Wait 5-15 minutes...
# Hope there are no build errors...

Write docker-compose.yml

Manually write your compose configuration.

terminal

nano docker-compose.yml
# services:
#   app:
#     image: myapp:latest
#     ports:
#       - "3000:3000"
#     environment:
#       - NODE_ENV=production
#     restart: unless-stopped

Deploy the container

Start the container and pray it works.

terminal

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f
# Ctrl+C when you're tired of watching logs
