Firstly, two important notes:
-
This release contains breaking changes, and you will need to either remove or migrate your existing containers before running your app - see the upgrading section of the install docs for details.
-
Compose now requires Docker 1.6.0 or later.
We've done a lot of work in this release to remove hacks and make Compose more stable:
-
Compose now uses container labels, rather than names, to keep track of containers. This makes Compose both faster and easier to integrate with your own tools.
-
Compose no longer uses "intermediate containers" when recreating containers for a service. This makes
docker-compose up
less complex and more resilient to failure.
There are some new features:
-
docker-compose up
has an experimental new behaviour: it will only recreate containers for services whose configuration has changed indocker-compose.yml
. This will eventually become the default, but for now you can take it for a spin:$ docker-compose up --x-smart-recreate
-
When invoked in a subdirectory of a project,
docker-compose
will now climb up through parent directories until it finds adocker-compose.yml
.
Several new configuration keys have been added to docker-compose.yml
:
dockerfile
, likedocker build --file
, lets you specify an alternate Dockerfile to use withbuild
.labels
, likedocker run --labels
, lets you add custom metadata to containers.extra_hosts
, likedocker run --add-host
, lets you add entries to a container's/etc/hosts
file.pid: host
, likedocker run --pid=host
, lets you reuse the same PID namespace as the host machine.cpuset
, likedocker run --cpuset-cpus
, lets you specify which CPUs to allow execution in.read_only
, likedocker run --read-only
, lets you mount a container's filesystem as read-only.security_opt
, likedocker run --security-opt
, lets you specify security options.log_driver
, likedocker run --log-driver
, lets you specify a log driver.
Many bugs have been fixed, including the following:
- The output of
docker-compose run
was sometimes truncated, especially when running under Jenkins. - A service's volumes would sometimes not update after volume configuration was changed in
docker-compose.yml
. - Authenticating against third-party registries would sometimes fail.
docker-compose run --rm
would fail to remove the container if the service had arestart
policy in place.docker-compose scale
would refuse to scale a service beyond 1 container if it exposed a specific port number on the host.- Compose would refuse to create multiple volume entries with the same host path.

-
docker-compose.yml
now supports anextends
option, which enables a service to inherit configuration from another service in another configuration file. This is really good for sharing common configuration between apps, or for configuring the same app for different environments. Here's the documentation. -
When using Compose with a Swarm cluster, containers that depend on one another will be co-scheduled on the same node. This means that most Compose apps will now work out of the box, as long as they don't use
build
. -
Repeated invocations of
docker-compose up
when using Compose with a Swarm cluster now work reliably. -
Directories passed to
build
, filenames passed toenv_file
and volume host paths passed tovolumes
are now treated as relative to the directory of the configuration file, not the directory thatdocker-compose
is being run in. In the majority of cases, those are the same, but if you use the-f|--file
argument to specify a configuration file in another directory, this is a breaking change. -
A service can now share another service's network namespace with
net: container:<service>
. -
volumes_from
andnet: container:<service>
entries are taken into account when resolving dependencies, sodocker-compose up <service>
will correctly start all dependencies of<service>
. -
docker-compose run
now accepts a--user
argument to specify a user to run the command as, just likedocker run
. -
The
up
,stop
andrestart
commands now accept a--timeout
(or-t
) argument to specify how long to wait when attempting to gracefully stop containers, just likedocker stop
. -
docker-compose rm
now accepts-f
as a shorthand for--force
, just likedocker rm
.

Fig has been renamed to Docker Compose, or just Compose for short. This has several implications for you:
- The command you type is now
docker-compose
, notfig
. - You should rename your fig.yml to docker-compose.yml.
- If you’re installing via PyPi, the package is now
docker-compose
, so install it withpip install docker-compose
.
Besides that, there’s a lot of new stuff in this release:
-
We’ve made a few small changes to ensure that Compose will work with Swarm, Docker’s new clustering tool (https://github.com/docker/swarm). Eventually you'll be able to point Compose at a Swarm cluster instead of a standalone Docker host and it’ll run your containers on the cluster with no extra work from you. As Swarm is still developing, integration is rough and lots of Compose features don't work yet.
-
docker-compose run
now has a--service-ports
flag for exposing ports on the given service. This is useful for e.g. running your webapp with an interactive debugger. -
You can now link to containers outside your app with the
external_links
option in docker-compose.yml. -
You can now prevent
docker-compose up
from automatically building images with the--no-build
option. This will make fewer API calls and run faster. -
If you don’t specify a tag when using the
image
key, Compose will default to thelatest
tag, rather than pulling all tags. -
docker-compose kill
now supports the-s
flag, allowing you to specify the exact signal you want to send to a service’s containers. -
docker-compose.yml now has an
env_file
key, analogous todocker run --env-file
, letting you specify multiple environment variables in a separate file. This is great if you have a lot of them, or if you want to keep sensitive information out of version control. -
docker-compose.yml now supports the
dns_search
,cap_add
,cap_drop
,cpu_shares
andrestart
options, analogous todocker run
’s--dns-search
,--cap-add
,--cap-drop
,--cpu-shares
and--restart
options. -
Compose now ships with Bash tab completion - see the installation and usage docs at https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/1.1.0/docs/completion.md
-
A number of bugs have been fixed - see the milestone for details: https://github.com/docker/compose/issues?q=milestone%3A1.1.0+
Thanks @dnephin, @squebe, @jbalonso, @raulcd, @benlangfield, @albers, @ggtools, @bersace, @dtenenba, @petercv, @drewkett, @TFenby, @paulRbr, @Aigeruth and @salehe!
- Added an
--allow-insecure-ssl
option to allowfig up
,fig run
andfig pull
to pull from insecure registries. - Fixed
fig run
not showing output in Jenkins. - Fixed a bug where Fig couldn't build Dockerfiles with ADD statements pointing at URLs.
The highlights:
-
Fig has joined Docker. Fig will continue to be maintained, but we'll also be incorporating the best bits of Fig into Docker itself.
This means the GitHub repository has moved to https://github.com/docker/fig and our IRC channel is now #docker-fig on Freenode.
-
Fig can be used with the official Docker OS X installer. Boot2Docker will mount the home directory from your host machine so volumes work as expected.
-
Fig supports Docker 1.3.
-
It is now possible to connect to the Docker daemon using TLS by using the
DOCKER_CERT_PATH
andDOCKER_TLS_VERIFY
environment variables. -
There is a new
fig port
command which outputs the host port binding of a service, in a similar way todocker port
. -
There is a new
fig pull
command which pulls the latest images for a service. -
There is a new
fig restart
command which restarts a service's containers. -
Fig creates multiple containers in service by appending a number to the service name (e.g.
db_1
,db_2
, etc). As a convenience, Fig will now give the first container an alias of the service name (e.g.db
).This link alias is also a valid hostname and added to
/etc/hosts
so you can connect to linked services using their hostname. For example, instead of resolving the environment variablesDB_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR
andDB_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT
, you could just use the hostnamedb
and port5432
directly. -
Volume definitions now support
ro
mode, expanding~
and expanding environment variables. -
.dockerignore
is supported when building. -
The project name can be set with the
FIG_PROJECT_NAME
environment variable. -
The
--env
and--entrypoint
options have been added tofig run
. -
The Fig binary for Linux is now linked against an older version of glibc so it works on CentOS 6 and Debian Wheezy.
Other things:
fig ps
now works on Jenkins and makes fewer API calls to the Docker daemon.--verbose
displays more useful debugging output.- When starting a service where
volumes_from
points to a service without any containers running, that service will now be started. - Lots of docs improvements. Notably, environment variables are documented and official repositories are used throughout.
Thanks @dnephin, @d11wtq, @marksteve, @rubbish, @jbalonso, @timfreund, @alunduil, @mieciu, @shuron, @moss, @suzaku and @chmouel! Whew.
- Added a
--no-cache
option tofig build
, which bypasses the cache just likedocker build --no-cache
. - Fixed the
dns:
fig.yml option, which was causing fig to error out. - Fixed a bug where fig couldn't start under Python 2.6.
- Fixed a log-streaming bug that occasionally caused fig to exit.
Thanks @dnephin and @marksteve!
- If a service has a command defined,
fig run [service]
with no further arguments will run it. - The project name now defaults to the directory containing fig.yml, not the current working directory (if they're different)
volumes_from
now works properly with containers as well as services- Fixed a race condition when recreating containers in
fig up
Thanks @ryanbrainard and @d11wtq!
-
Fig now starts links when you run
fig run
orfig up
.For example, if you have a
web
service which depends on adb
service,fig run web ...
will start thedb
service. -
Environment variables can now be resolved from the environment that Fig is running in. Just specify it as a blank variable in your
fig.yml
and, if set, it'll be resolved:environment: RACK_ENV: development SESSION_SECRET:
-
volumes_from
is now supported infig.yml
. All of the volumes from the specified services and containers will be mounted:volumes_from: - service_name - container_name
-
A host address can now be specified in
ports
:ports: - "0.0.0.0:8000:8000" - "127.0.0.1:8001:8001"
-
The
net
andworkdir
options are now supported infig.yml
. -
The
hostname
option now works in the same way as the Docker CLI, splitting out into adomainname
option. -
TTY behaviour is far more robust, and resizes are supported correctly.
-
Load YAML files safely.
