Previous docker-compose was a separate program, written in Python if I remember correctly, people usually preferred to them as v1. Later docker incorporated it into the docker binary itself as a subcommand so that’s v2
v2 is still a separate binary, it can just be installed in different ways (on Linux). If GGGP was referring to v1, then that's legacy software since 2+ years and they probably shouldn't use it.
> The Docker compose CLI plugin has no stable output format (see for example https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/10872 ), and for the main operations also no machine friendly output format. The module tries to accomodate this with various version-dependent behavior adjustments and with testing older and newer versions of the Docker compose CLI plugin. Currently the module is tested with multiple plugin versions between 2.18.1 and 2.23.3. The exact list of plugin versions will change over time. New releases of the Docker compose CLI plugin can break this module at any time.
