How to Override docker-compose.override.yml

I like to use docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.override.yml, because it allows you to call docker-compose without explicit --file args and still remain flexible. I wanted to override the docker-compose.override.yml.

Create env/felix/docker-compose.override.yml with

include:
  # IMPORTANT! Using `- path` here is like running `compose --file`.
  - path:
      - docker-compose.yml
      - env/dev/docker-compose.override.yml
      - env/felix/include-override.yml
