docker-compose & deploy-compose.yml are 2 adjacent names, which creates confusion

[ido777]

What happened?

I missed the point that there 2 at all at the beginning, and even after I learned it the hard way, (and updated the documentation for the rest) it takes more than 2 mili seconds to know what is the name on the screen (e.g. as part of rerunning something from bash history).

See below what chatGPT suggests as better names

1. As you can see chatGPT picked 2 names that their target is part of the name

2. It didn't pick development and deployment as I suggested in my question since those 2 words are also adjacent, so it picked production and dev which are clearly distinctive

'The docker-compose.yml is not a development image as you appear to suggest. It is the standard image that should be utilized by the majority of users.'

Regarding the similarity of names, I must admit that I am not fond of the 'deploy-compose.yml' naming convention either. It appears that adding a suffix or prefix to 'docker-compose' is a more commonly accepted practice.

[ido777]

Not sure I understand what you mean.
what is development image and what is utilized by the majority of users.?
development image as opposed to what?
utilized by the majority of users for what need does the users utilize it?

To be honest, I'm not certain what you're referring to when you mention the development image.

All our guides instruct to use docker compose up, which utilizes the docker-compose.yml rather than the deploy-compose.yml. The only guide that directs the use of the deploy-compose.yml file is the Digital Ocean guide. While it can be adapted for many other hosting providers, it is not the installation method most commonly employed by users.

I said "image" but I meant "compose fiIe". Sorry for the confusion. I mentioned the "development" file because that's what you asked GPT about in your first post

[ido777]

1. The digital ocean guide is labeled as the recommended one which is why I tried it, if something was saying what is most commonly employed by users I would have used it instead.
2. The fact that the rest of the readers who skipped this guide didn't suffer won't help those who did :-)

This is recommended for online deployment rather than for casual use, development, or home computer setups. It is, after all, situated in the deployment section, not the installation section.
