Deploying Compose to remote hosts

Let’s move the Redis example we run previously into a Compose file:

services:
  redis:
    image: redis

The following command will have to be adjusted with regards to the DOCKER_HOST variable, since a different IP will be allocated to the EC2 instance. The outcome should be the same on another host:

$ DOCKER_HOST="ssh://ec2-user@18.130.80.179" docker compose up
