Dev Docker Compose Library

A curated collection of docker-compose stacks for local development, organized by technology (Kafka, Redis, databases, observability, etc.).
Each folder contains one or more compose YAML files that you can run standalone or combine.

---

Repo Structure

Each technology has its own folder:

Naming convention (recommended)

• docker-compose.yml → default stack (most common)
• docker-compose.<feature>.yml → add-ons (ui, exporter, init-job, etc.)
• Or: standalone.yml, cluster.yml, with-ui.yml (whatever you prefer—just be consistent)

---

Requirements

• Docker Engine + Docker Compose v2 (docker compose version)
• Recommended: GNU Make (optional)

---

Quick Start

Run a stack

From repo root:

docker compose -f kafka/docker-compose.yml up -d

Combine multiple files (base + addon)

docker compose \
  -f kafka/docker-compose.yml \
  -f kafka/docker-compose.ui.yml \
  up -d
