Dockerode: docker-compose

[peterpetre]

Can I run docker-compose somehow? e.g. docker.compose(...)

docker-compose (https://github.com/docker/compose) is a CLI app that implements a driver like dockerode (https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/84afa518e8144c9620562c023c0b62dd7c0b4305/compose/cli/docker_client.py#L118), interprets a YAML file (docker-compose.yml) and instantiates all the needed state (containers, etc) in Docker.

They are basically different tools for different problems :)

Although someone could implement a "programatically friendly docker-compose" by building a parser for docker-compose.yml (https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/) with an API interface and use dockerode for the Docker operations.

Not sure if makes sense to push this effort into dockerode, since the idea of it is exactly allowing everyone to create tools like this one in it's "userland" :)
