# Using JSON with docker compose
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"version": "3.8",
|
|
"services": {
|
|
"nginx": {
|
|
"image": "nginx:alpine",
|
|
"ports": [
|
|
"8080:80"
|
|
],
|
|
"volumes": [
|
|
"./html:/usr/share/nginx/html"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use it, just run `docker-compose -f docker-compose.json up` instead of `docker-compose up`. Or you can just write the JSON in `docker-compose.yaml` like a madman. It'll work, though if you do that, you're definitely a psychopath /s

P.S. If you want a GUI for it, then I'd recommend using [aleiepure/devtoolbox](https://github.com/aleiepure/devtoolbox) to convert JSON to YAML and vice-versa. It's also got a JSON formatter and a *ton* of other tools, so I'd definitely recommend installing it anyways.
