'command not found' when I try to run docker-compose

General

In case anyone stumbles upon this and, like me, is trying to install docker-compose on Debian Buster-based Armbian (arm64 architecture) the answer, as it turns out, is quite simple…

Install Docker using softy. (Softy does all the work - it’s great!) Test the install with

docker run hello-world

Once that’s done and successful, you can just run

sudo apt install docker-compose

and it just works. If you want to test it, paste this into docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'  
services:
  web:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
     - "8080:80"
    links:
     - php
  php:
    image: php:7-fpm

then run

docker-compose up -d && docker ps

to test.
