Subject: docs: remove docker-compose duplication (#3376)

It does not make sense to have two copies of it to keep in sync

The user needs to read and edit this file anyway, so prefer keeping the
docs copy

resolves #3371

## Checks
- [ ] I am happy for maintainers to push small adjustments to this PR,
to speed up the review cycle
- [ ] I have checked that there are no existing pull requests for the
same thing
