Docker Compose v1 uses the command docker-compose
. As of June 2023, support ends for Docker Compose v1.
Docker Compose v2 uses the command docker compose
.
If you are using Docker Compose v1 please adjust the commands accordingly. More information on Docker Compose can be found here.
Run one of the following commands to confirm that Docker Compose is installed:
Docker Compose v1:
docker-compose version
Docker Compose v2:
docker compose version
Example Output:
Docker Compose version v2.16.0
To ensure that Docker has the ability to pull and run container images run the following command:
docker run hello-world
Example Output:
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
2db29710123e: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:ffb13da98453e0f04d33a6eee5bb8e46ee50d08ebe17735fc0779d0349e889e9
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:

In order to run PowerShell Universal, use the provided container image. The docker image is available on Docker Hub.
The prebuilt version supports both free & paid features of PowerShell Universal.
Start the container by pulling the image and then running a container with the default port bound.
docker pull ironmansoftware/universal
docker run --name 'PSU' -it -p 5000:5000 ironmansoftware/universal
If port 5000 is unavailable on your host, switch to another port.
e.g. Present on port 80
docker pull ironmansoftware/universal
docker run --name 'PSU' -it -p 80:5000 ironmansoftware/universal
The docker run
command allows you to mount a volume for persistent storage. Mount the volume to the /root folder.
Mount a volume on container in Windows
The following command mounts the folder C:\docker\volumes\PSU
to /root
on your container:
docker pull ironmansoftware/universal
docker run --name 'PSU' -it -p 5000:5000 -v C:\docker\volumes\PSU:/root ironmansoftware/universal
Mount a volume on Container on Mac and Linux
The following command mounts the folder /docker/volumes/PSU
to /root
on your container:
docker pull ironmansoftware/universal
docker run --name 'PSU' -it -p 5000:5000 -v /docker/volumes/PSU:/root ironmansoftware/universal
The following command removes a stopped container named PSU
:
docker stop PSU
The following command stops a container named PSU
:
docker rm PSU
The --force
flag can remove a running container:
docker rm --force PSU
Docker Compose allows you to use a yaml text file to standardize your build and script the deployment (or build) or multiple containers.
The default name for any compose file is docker-compose.yml
. It is recommended you use this as your compose filename.
The following compose file runs a Powershell Universal container in Windows:
version: "5.2.1"
services:
PSU:
container_name: PSU
image: ironmansoftware/universal:latest
ports:
- 5000:5000
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- C:\docker\volumes\PSU:/root
The following compose file runs a Powershell Universal container on Mac and Linux:
version: "5.2.1"
services:
PSU:
container_name: PSU
image: ironmansoftware/universal:latest
ports:
- 5000:5000
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /docker/volumes/PSU:/root
Using a Terminal shell or PowerShell for Windows. Use the cd command to change the working directory with your docker-compose.yml
script.
Run the following command:
docker compose up -d
Example Output:

Creating PSU ... done
Using a Terminal shell, or PowerShell for Windows. cd to the directory with your docker-compose.yml
script.
Run the following command
docker compose down
Example Output:

You can add Environment variables into your Compose Scripts. Below is an example of:
- Setting a node name
- Adding SQL persistence
- Adding a SQL Connection String
version: "5.2.1"
services:
PSU:
container_name: PSU
image: ironmansoftware/universal:latest
ports:
- 5000:5000
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- TZ=Europe/London
- Plugins__0=SQL
- Data__ConnectionString=Data Source=sql1.domain.com;Initial Catalog=PSUTicketBridge;User Id=psu_ticketbridge_dbo;Password=Password123;TrustServerCertificate=True;Trusted_Connection=True;integrated security=false;
- NodeName=mynodename
volumes:
- /docker/volumes/PSU:/root
You can add Environment variables into your Compose Scripts. Below is an example of:
- Setting a node name
- Adding PostgreSQL persistence
- Adding a PostgreSQL Connection String
version: "5.2.1"
services:
PSU:
container_name: PSU
image: ironmansoftware/universal:latest
ports:
- 5000:5000
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- TZ=Europe/London
- Plugins__0=PostgreSQL
- Data__ConnectionString=Host=PGhostname; Database=PGdatabase; User Id=PGusername; Password=PGpassword!;Port=5432
- NodeName=mynodename
volumes:
- /docker/volumes/PSU:/root
If you wish to build more features, modify, or hardcode Environment Variables into your container, then create a Dockerfile
NOTE: Dockerfiles' are case-sensitive and must start with a capital 'D'.
To create a Docker image that can persist the Universal data, create a dockerfile like the one below.
This Dockerfile exposes port 5000, creates a /data volume, sets configuration environment variables to store the Universal repository and database in the volume and then sets the Universal.Server as the entry point to the container.
FROM ironmansoftware/universal:latest
LABEL description="Universal - The ultimate platform for building web-based IT Tools"
EXPOSE 5000
VOLUME ["/home/data"]
ENV Data__RepositoryPath /home/data/Repository
ENV Data__ConnectionString Data Source=/home/data/database.db
ENV UniversalDashboard__AssetsFolder /home/data/UniversalDashboard
ENV Logging__Path /home/data/logs/log.txt
ENTRYPOINT ["./Universal/Universal.Server"]
From the path that hosts your Dockerfile, run the following command:
docker build . --tag=universal-persistent
FROM ironmansoftware/universal:5.0.0-windowsservercore-1809
LABEL description="Universal - The ultimate platform for building web-based IT Tools"
EXPOSE 5000
VOLUME ["C:/data"]
ENV Data__RepositoryPath C:/data/Repository
ENV Data__ConnectionString Data Source=C:/data/database.db
ENV UniversalDashboard__AssetsFolder C:/data/UniversalDashboard
ENV Logging__Path C:/data/logs/log.txt
ENTRYPOINT ["C:/ProgramData/Universal/Universal.Server.exe"]
Run a build with the build command:
docker build . --tag=universal-persistent
Start the docker container with the run command and make sure to specify the volume to mount:
docker run -it --name powershelluniversal --mount source=psudata,target=/home/data --rm -d -p 5000:5000/tcp universal-persistent:latest
To use SQL persistence, define the plugin and connection string as follows:
ENV Data__ConnectionString=Data Source=ServerName; Initial Catalog=DatabaseName; Integrated Security=SSPI;
ENV Plugins:0=SQL
To use PostgreSQL persistence, define the plugin and connection string as follows:
ENV Data__ConnectionString=Host=PGhostname; Database=PGdatabase; User Id=PGusername; Password=PGpassword!;Port=5432
ENV Plugins:0=PostgreSQL
To properly support time zones on Linux when scheduling jobs, include the tzdata
package in your dockerfile along with an environment variable that specifies the server time zone.
ENV TZ Europe/Amsterdam
RUN apt-get install -y tzdata
