dockersamples/awesome-compose
Prefer this fork only if you need the React/Express/MongoDB sample with multi-stage build scaffolding and are comfortable maintaining it yourself. If you want the latest curated Compose catalog and sample fixes, upstream is the better default.
vuhung16au/awesome-compose
Choose this fork if you want deeper, more opinionated sample projects and are willing to trade breadth for workflow completeness. Stick with upstream if you need the widest curated Compose catalog and the most minimal, canonical reference examples.
ajeetraina/awesome-compose
Prefer upstream unless you need the specific Flask/Redis Dockerfile tweak in this fork. This fork is mostly an older, lightly modified snapshot, so it is better for narrow experimentation than as a general replacement.
Prefer upstream unless you specifically want this older FastAPI sample and are comfortable maintaining it yourself. The fork adds a focused FastAPI workflow, but it is materially stale and misses much of upstream’s later breadth and polish.
Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need this older snapshot; the fork adds no visible value and is behind recent maintenance updates.
collabnix/awesome-compose
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this historical snapshot. The fork adds no visible functionality, while upstream has continued to receive sample updates and fixes.
Adopters should prefer upstream unless they explicitly need this fork’s frozen snapshot; it adds no visible capability and is materially behind current upstream.
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this frozen snapshot. The fork adds no user-facing capability and is already behind current upstream maintenance, so it is only attractive as a static reference copy.
Prefer upstream unless you specifically want an old, unchanged snapshot. This fork adds no visible capability and is mainly useful as a frozen copy; for active use, upstream is the better choice.
