There's the rename-exe option in mise.toml to rename the docker compose binary to `docker-compose`. I've used it on some machine, I think. Look it up in the docs, it doesn't take long to wire up.

Yep, I’ve ended up doing exactly that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48501953
The default docker-compose definition comes from aqua:docker/compose though, which does not support rename_exe. You have to specify github:docker/compose instead.
doesn't aqua:docker/compose just work? it does for me
Nope :-( Just tried it again, it installs and is available in PATH as `docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose`, but `docker compose` says “unknown command”. For docker-cli to pick it up, it should be in $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose (~/.docker by default, though I use ~/.config/docker).
rename_exe doesn’t do anything on the aqua backend either (and isn’t a documented option). I’m on mise 2026.5.10 right now though so if you fixed something recently I might be missing out!
