Deploy a stack to a swarm — Test the app with Compose

Start the app with docker compose up. This builds the web app image, pulls the Redis image if you don't already have it, and creates two containers. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker compose up -d WARNING: The Docker Engine you're using is runnin
