Description

I am using the new docker compose plugin docker-compose-plugin which comes bundled with docker when installing the latest version. This does not require you to install the docker-compose plugin manually and works as part of the docker command.

Notes

• This change will primarily aim to use docker-compose which gives me the feeling it's less of an impact.
• I cannot test this for backwards compatibility as I don't have the docker-compose library anymore, please test.

The Makefile for this project expects to use the docker-compose command to bring up the project.
I've added checks to determine if we can use docker-compose which will in turn check the docker compose API version to determine the separator (existing functionality).

In case docker-compose was not found it will check for the docker compose plugin and will throw an error and exit the program if this is also not found.

Some changes I made:

• Default the SEPARATOR var to _, which will only be overwritten to - in case you are using a older version of docker-compose. The assumption here is that the new docker compose plugin defaults to v2 or higher.
• Introduced DOCKER_COMPOSE_CMD. Defaults to docker-compose, will be overwritten if docker-compose is not found and the docker compose plugin is detected.
• Suppress .env file operation output from the console.
