 If you are running lazydocker in Docker container, it is a know bug, that you can't see logs or CPU usage.
 
+### Why isn't my docker-compose environment being used?

+If you use Compose V2 (`docker compose` without the hyphen), alternatively, you can change the docker-compose command used via the `commandTemplates.dockerCompose` config value.

 - [docui](https://github.com/skanehira/docui) - Skanehira beat me to the punch on making a docker terminal UI, so definitely check out that repo as well! I think the two repos can live in harmony though: lazydocker is more about managing existing containers/services, and docui is more about creating and configuring them.
