After resolving the "Docker Compose Plugin Not Found" issue, you can further optimize the performance of the Docker Compose plugin by configuring various settings and parameters. This section will guide you through the process of configuring the Docker Compose plugin for optimal performance on your Ubuntu system.
Adjust Docker Compose File Caching
The Docker Compose plugin caches the Docker Compose file to improve the performance of subsequent commands. You can configure the caching behavior by setting the COMPOSE_FILE_CACHE_DURATION
environment variable. This variable specifies the duration (in seconds) for which the Docker Compose file cache is valid.
For example, to set the cache duration to 60 seconds, you can run the following command:
export COMPOSE_FILE_CACHE_DURATION=60
You can then add this environment variable to your system's startup script (e.g., .bashrc
or .profile
) to make the setting persistent.
Optimize Docker Compose Parallelism
The Docker Compose plugin can leverage parallel processing to speed up the deployment and management of your multi-container applications. You can configure the parallelism level by setting the COMPOSE_PARALLEL_LIMIT
environment variable.
For example, to set the parallelism limit to 4, you can run the following command:
export COMPOSE_PARALLEL_LIMIT=4
Again, you can add this environment variable to your system's startup script to make the setting persistent.
Enable Docker Compose Plugin Logging
To help with troubleshooting and monitoring the Docker Compose plugin, you can enable logging by setting the COMPOSE_LOG_LEVEL
environment variable. This variable specifies the logging level, which can be one of the following values: DEBUG
, INFO
, WARNING
, ERROR
, or CRITICAL
.
For example, to enable DEBUG-level logging, you can run the following command:
export COMPOSE_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
You can then check the Docker Compose plugin logs using the docker logs
command.
By configuring these settings, you can optimize the performance and troubleshooting capabilities of the Docker Compose plugin on your Ubuntu system.
