==== Dockerfile and docker-compose Filetype =====
**Dockerfile**  is a file format used to build [[http://www.docker.com|Docker]] images.\\
**docker-compose.yml** is a file format to build and run multiple Docker containers; using [[https://docs.docker.com/compose/|docker-compose]]. \\

[[http://www.docker.com|Docker]] is a computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as "containerization"

This page describe how to add basic docker-compose file syntax highlighting to Geany. 

//**Note:**// Since Geany 2.1 a filetype for Dockerfiles is included in Geany. 
For older versions, the filetype can be manually installed from https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/data/filedefs/filetypes.Dockerfile.conf.


===== Step 1) =====

Add the following lines to //~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf// under the respective sections [Extensions] and [Groups]
<file properties>
[Extensions]
DockerCompose=docker-compose*.yml;docker-compose*.yaml;compose.yml;compose.yaml

[Groups]
Script=DockerCompose;
</file>


===== Step 2) =====

Save the configuration file below in your Geany filetype definition files config directory, e.g. //~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.DockerCompose.conf//

<file properties filetypes.DockerCompose.conf>
# For complete documentation of this file, please see Geany's main documentation
#
# Geany Color Syntax support for Docker-Compose files

# Use the Python filetype as base for better highlighting of YAML keys according to defined keywords
