Shipping multi-container Docker app

I've recently been using Docker and researching about how one might ship a dockerized application. If everything was stored in one container (ex: Tomcat, webapp, MySql), it would seem easy to send someone one .tar of the image for them to run. However, most people have been saying to separate your database from your application. So if I wanted to ship an application that required multiple containers, what would be the best method to do so?

Check out docker compose. It is designed to specify, spin up, and link multiple containers together.

He is an example config listed on the front page:

web:
  build: .
  ports:
   - "5000:5000"
  volumes:
   - .:/code
  links:
   - redis
redis:
  image: redis
