My understanding is docker-compose is just a glorified installation file where you can install multiple containers and configure their interoperability/file systems/other config stuff, whereas images are the actual installation files for that specific container.
IE I can run a docker-compose to install App X, mariadb, and (IDK some third thing) at one time, but using images I’d have to install App X, THEN mariadb, THEN mysterious third thing, haven’t had enough coffee lol.
