# How to Execute Multiple Commands in Docker-Compose?

It is possible to define and run multiple commands in the `docker-compose.yml` file.

To execute multiple commands using Docker-Compose, structure the file in the following way:

```bash
...
services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
    command: >
      sh -c "command1 &&
             command2 &&
             command3"
...
```

You can define multiple commands to be executed by enclosing them in the `“` character and connecting them using `&&` operator.

If you want to for example execute migration in then tart the server in Python Django app, you can do the following:

```bash
...
command: >
    bash -c "python manage.py migrate &&
					   python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
...
```
