Docker Compose projects
If the repo has a Compose file, Rig can treat it as a first-class project type — start and observe the stack from the same window as Node or Laravel projects.
Detect and open
- Add the folder that contains
docker-compose.yml(or compose.yaml). - Confirm Rig detected Compose in the project summary.
- Start from Rig; watch service logs in the unified pane.
Ports and overlaps
Compose often binds published ports that collide with a local npm dev server. If start fails, use port reclaim or adjust the Compose publish mapping.
What Rig is not
Rig orchestrates and observes — it does not replace Docker Desktop, your Compose mental model, or production Kubernetes. Use Compose as you already do; Rig is the control surface.
