Question 1

What is a docker-compose.override.yml file?

Accepted Answer

A `docker-compose.override.yml` file is used to define environment-specific configurations or local overrides for a Docker Compose setup. When you run `docker-compose up`, Docker Compose automatically merges the `docker-compose.yml` with `docker-compose.override.yml` (if present), with settings in the override file taking precedence. This is useful for development configurations like mounting local volumes or exposing different ports without modifying the base `docker-compose.yml`.

Question 2

How do I use this Docker Compose override viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `docker-compose.override.yml` file from your device. Its content will be displayed as plain text. Our general Docker Compose Viewer (link to /viewer/docker-compose) or YAML Viewer (link to /viewer/yaml) can also open this.
