I found this thread [1] on help-guix from 2019 where a user reports
having errores with docker-compose. A user replies:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
The root of this problem is that our docker-compose package is *very*
old: it was added in January 2016(!), and has never been updated
since. I guess that proves how unneccessary Docker is once you've
discovered Guix… *ducks*
#+END_QUOTE

Furthermore, I noticed that the version of docker-compose is 1.29.2 and
upstream [2] is at 2.12.0, so even if I fix this problem. I'll be using
an old version of docker-compose. For my use case, it would be more
useful to use the latest version of docker-compose, so if I wanted to
use docker-compose under Guix, I would need for me to write a Guix
package for that version.

I have one question: The user above states that Docker is unnecessary
once you have discovered Guix. I have been using Guix for around 6
months, but I don't see how I could use Guix for running a web server on
a container that uses node.js and postgresql. The reason why I initially
wanted to use docker is because I find it more convenient to run a web
server with node.js and postgresql. Any information on this topic is
appreciated.
