compose< / h1 >
< p > Turns out you can use JSON with docker compose! It's a bit
lengthier than YAML, but you don't have to deal with weird
whitespace issues wasting half an hour of your time. Here's an
example of a docker compose file in JSON:< / p >

< p > To use it, just run
< code > docker-compose -f docker-compose.json up< / code > instead of
< code > docker-compose up< / code > . Or you can just write the JSON
in < code > docker-compose.yaml< / code > like a madman. It'll work,
though if you do that, you're definitely a psychopath /s< / p >
< p > P.S. If you want a GUI for it, then I'd recommend using < a
href="https://github.com/aleiepure/devtoolbox">aleiepure/devtoolbox< / a >
to convert JSON to YAML and vice-versa. It's also got a JSON
formatter and a < em > ton< / em > of other tools, so I'd definitely
recommend installing it anyways.< / p >
