Convert docker run commands to docker-compose.yml format instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Docker Compose?
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. You use a YAML file (docker-compose.yml) to configure your application's services, networks, and volumes, then run everything with a single command.
Why convert docker run to docker-compose?
Docker run commands can get very long and complex. Converting them to docker-compose.yml makes them easier to read, version control, share with your team, and reproduce across environments.
What docker run flags are supported?
This tool supports common flags including -d (detach), --name, -p (ports), -v (volumes), -e (environment variables), --env-file, --network, --restart, -w (working directory), --memory, --cpus, and --link.
How does the conversion work?
The tool parses the docker run command string, extracts each flag and its arguments, then maps them to the equivalent docker-compose.yml fields. The image name becomes the 'image' field, and any trailing command becomes the 'command' field.
What version of docker-compose syntax is used?
The output uses Docker Compose file version 3.8, which is compatible with Docker Engine 19.03+ and supports most modern features including deploy resource constraints.
