What is the role of `docker-compose` in setting up an Nginx reverse proxy for multiple Docker services?

`docker-compose` simplifies the management of multi-container Docker applications. It allows you to define and run your Nginx reverse proxy container and your application containers as a single unit. You define networks, volumes, and dependencies in a `docker-compose.yml` file, ensuring that Nginx can communicate with your application containers using their service names and internal Docker networks.
