Simplifying Docker Compose with .env Files

Docker Compose is a powerful tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It allows developers to specify their application’s services, networks, and volumes in a single docker-compose.yaml file, making it easy to manage complex setups. However, as your project grows, managing environment variables for different services can become cumbersome. This is where the .env file comes to the rescue, providing a cleaner and more organized way to handle configuration.
