I'm using compose wrong and I know it. (lemmy.one)

For the last two years, I've been treating compose files as individual runners for individual programs.

Then I brainstormed the concept of having one singular docker-compose file that writes out every single running container on my system... (that can use compose), each install starts at the same root directory and volumes branch out from there.

Then I find out, this is how most people use compose. One compose file, with volumes and directories branching out from wherever ./ is called.

THEN I FIND OUT... that most people that discover this move their installations to podman because compose works on different versions per app and calling those versions breaks the concept of having one singular docker-compose.yml file and podman doesn't need a version for compose files.

Is there some meta for the best way to handle these apps collectively?

Exactly, when it updates, I want to initiate it to make sure everything goes as it should.

Nothing off mine is that important that I couldn't create/rollback the container if it does happen to screw up.
