Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker compose ps
NAME                COMMAND             SERVICE             STATUS              PORTS
flask-web-1         "python3 app.py"    web                 running             0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser or run:

$ curl localhost:8000
Hello World!

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down

Use with Docker Development Environments

You can use this sample with the Dev Environments feature of Docker Desktop.

To develop directly on the services inside containers, use the HTTPS Git url of the sample:
