In order to work on multiple tasks in an interleaved mode, you may want to keep the example content of each setup and switch back and forth. In order to do so, you can use the COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME. If set docker compose will prefix all resources with the set value, that is, a volume will be named JIRA-55_db-data if COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=JIRA-55. The only thing to keep in mind with this approach is to never use the -v flag when running docker compose down.
