Description

What problem will this feature address?

At the moment I don't have the possibility to deploy my monorepo app on each PR I make using a Docker Compose app on Dokploy since there is no Preview Deployments on Docker Compose apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

I guess one way of solving this issue is to add the feature "Preview Deployments" on Docker compose. If you have a better solution, please let us know.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I was thinking maybe I could split my frontend and my backend into multiple Dockerfile apps on Dokploy. However, from my understanding, I can't get the generated FQDN from my backend preview deployment to add it as an ENV variable in my frontend preview deployment.

Additional context

Will you send a PR to implement it?

Done means Docker Compose apps can create usable preview deployments for pull requests.
