DESCRIPTION

14       podman  compose  is  a thin wrapper around an external compose provider
15       such as docker-compose or podman-compose.  This means that podman  com‐
16       pose  is executing another tool that implements the compose functional‐
17       ity but sets up the environment in a way to let  the  compose  provider
18       communicate  transparently with the local Podman socket.  The specified
19       options as well the command and argument are  passed  directly  to  the
20       compose provider.

23       The  default  compose  providers are docker-compose and podman-compose.
24       If installed, docker-compose takes precedence since it is the  original
25       implementation  of  the Compose specification and is widely used on the
26       supported platforms (i.e., Linux, Mac OS, Windows).

29       If you want to change the default behavior or have a  custom  installa‐
30       tion  path  for  your  provider  of  choice,  please  change  the  com‐
31       pose_provider field in containers.conf(5).  You may also set  the  POD‐
32       MAN_COMPOSE_PROVIDER environment variable.
