Frequently Asked Questions
The generator produces a compose file using the modern format compatible with Docker Compose V2 (the 'docker compose' plugin). The top-level 'version' key is omitted as it is no longer required.
The generated file is a solid starting point with correct service definitions, networking, and named volumes. For production use, you should add environment-specific secrets, resource limits, health checks, and custom configurations.
All selected services are placed on a shared Docker network named after your project. Services can reach each other using their service name as the hostname (e.g., your Node.js app connects to PostgreSQL at host 'postgres').
The generated file uses placeholder environment variables (e.g., POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD) that you should replace with secure values. Never commit real credentials to version control — use a .env file instead.
