There are at least two ways to use Docker Compose v2 as a drop-in replacement for Docker Compose v1:
- Compose Switch
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
From the current README (2.1.0 / 2021-11-09):
V2 is not a standalone binary anymore, and installation scripts will have to be adjusted. Some commands are different.
This sounds like v2 cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for v1.
From the release notes of 2.0.1:
Added support for running the plugin as a standalone program. Like
docker-composev1 would behave
So what's the effective difference between these two ways?
