Feature Request: Compose Dashboard with Versioning, Visualization, and AI Assistance for Beginners

[gritnz]

As a new Docker user, I’ve found managing multiple docker-compose.yml files and containers challenging, especially with YAML’s strict syntax and the lack of visibility into which Compose files are active on my system.

I’d like to suggest a new feature for Docker Desktop:

Compose Dashboard:

A dedicated section in the Docker Desktop UI to list all Compose projects and their associated containers, regardless of directory.
Ability to view, edit, and version Compose files directly from the dashboard.
Visual indicators for which containers are running, their restart policies, and which Compose file they originated from.
YAML Assistance:

Integrated AI or assistant support to help users write and troubleshoot Compose files, with real-time syntax validation and suggestions.
Warnings or tips for common YAML mistakes (indentation, spacing, etc.).
Beginner-Friendly Tools:

Step-by-step Compose file creation wizards.
Option to collaborate with the AI assistant to generate Compose files based on user requirements.
This would greatly improve the onboarding experience for new users and help prevent issues caused by hidden or misconfigured Compose projects. Thank you for considering this suggestion!
