Description

Currently the Compose file and docker stack is the only way to define operations in a configuration file. This config allows users to perform stack operations, and create networks, but not much else.

There have been a few requests for a config format which is more build/dev/test oriented, for performing developer tasks, or adhoc operations. A config and command to support these sequential (not service) worksflows would be a great addition.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Docker CLI's existing Compose-file and docker stack operation handling. The issue describes a new configuration format and command for sequential, non-service workflows; done would mean that the supported scope and behavior are defined and implemented, with appropriate validation and documentation.
