Docker Compose and YAML, Explained Simply for Linux users
A long `docker run` command works once, then the exact setup lives only in your shell history. Docker Compose lets you write the whole thing down: one file, one command, the whole system.
This episode builds the mental model behind Compose, one idea at a time:
• Image vs container: the blueprint and the running thing
• What compose.yaml actually is
• Why YAML indentation IS the structure, not decoration
• What 8080:80 really means (host port vs container port)
• Why volumes outlive the containers that use them
• depends_on and environment between services
• docker compose up / ps / logs / exec / down
