Research direction

Start with the linked docker-compose section in the Coolify documentation and review the example PRs #8021 and #8029 for the recurring change requests. Add guidance about automatically added configuration and pinning image versions instead of using latest. Done means the guidance is clear, located near the relevant section, and covers both requested points.

Description

Is there a topic or section missing from the docs? Please describe.
The section on docker-compose could use a few more details. I'd be happy to make a PR if everyone agrees that this would be useful.

Describe the content you'd like to see added:
I'd add a section (maybe a callout) that notes the following:

  1. Which configuration doesn't need to be added because coolify adds it automatically e.g. volumes, container_name, restart.
  2. That images should be pinned to a particular version (as opposed to latest) to prevent the template from breaking due to upstream changes.

Why is this content important?
I've noticed that there are certain recurring change requests for the docker-compose files when people create PRs for new services. I think mentioning those could save maintainers time by not having to repeatedly making those change requests.

Additional context
See this PR and my own PR as examples of these common issues.
