Research direction
Review the existing quickstart and installation guidance for compose-switch, then check how the tool is used on systems such as CoreOS and Flatcar where update-alternatives or alternatives is unavailable. Done means the documentation includes a concise path for installing or invoking the tool without those commands and explains how it avoids version-locking Docker Compose automations.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I appreciate that this tool exists, but upate-alternatives / alternatives hardly exists everywhere (e.g. coreos, flatcar, etc...). It would be helpful if you could provide quickstart instructions on how to use the tool such a scenario.
This way people won't just version lock themselves to the latest v1 binary when they realize all their automations based on docker-compose are broken.
