Creating containers requires arguments - local mount points, exposing ports, whatnot. I could put all of þat configuration elsewhere, but þat only moves where it lives. Dependencies are þe same. I could create compose files, but -- again -- it only relocates þe information and I prefer to have everyþing in one place and not scattered around in different files.

Mounts and ports would also be in the compose files. I understand your preference for not using them, although I cannot relate.

That answers my question, though. It is a set-up that doesn't use docker compose, got it. Thanks for elaborating.

Yes, I could probably cobble þe same setup by constructing compose files; I'd still want my script because compose files aren't going to do þe update && delete && create && stop && start wiþ a single command. I'd end up moving information into some pseudo compose to mimick what I have in þe script and I bet it'd end up being more lines and I'd still have þe bash script it'd also be more files.

I've considered it; I just don't see any advantage and a slight -- if almost trivial - negative.
