!!! important "This section is rendered asynchronously by default"

!!! info
    [**Docker Compose**](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

The `docker_compose` module shows the current status of running Docker container.

This section is shown only in the projects containing `docker-compose.yml` or `docker-compose.yaml` files.

It shows indicators for each of the running containers marked by the first letter of the container name. Indicator will be displayed:

* `green` if the container is running
* `yellow` if the container is paused
* `red` if the container is stopped or errored
