Compose Switch is a replacement to the Compose V1 docker-compose (python) executable. It translates the command line into Compose V2 docker compose then run the latter.
We provide a script for automated installation:
$ curl -fL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose-switch/master/install_on_linux.sh | sh- download compose-switch binary for your architecture
$ curl -fL https://github.com/docker/compose-switch/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-linux-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/compose-switch- make compose-switch executable
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/compose-switch- rename
docker-composebinary if you already have it installed as/usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ mv /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose-v1- define an "alternatives" group for
docker-composecommand
$ update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/docker-compose docker-compose <PATH_TO_DOCKER_COMPOSE_V1> 1
$ update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/docker-compose docker-compose /usr/local/bin/compose-switch 99$ update-alternatives --display docker-compose
docker-compose - auto mode
link best version is /usr/local/bin/compose-switch

There are 2 choices for the alternative docker-compose (providing /usr/local/bin/docker-compose).
