Docker Compose Converter

Reference

How does the Docker Compose converter work?

docker run → compose: tokenizes the command-line, maps flags to compose keys (-p → ports, -v → volumes, -e → environment, --name → service name, --restart → restart policy), and emits valid docker-compose.yml. compose → docker run: parses YAML and reconstructs the docker run command for each service.

Supported flags

• -p/--publish — port mappings
• -v/--volume — bind mounts and named volumes
• -e/--env — environment variables
• --name — container name → service name
• --restart — restart policy
• --network, -d, --rm, --entrypoint, -w, -u

Common uses

• Onboarding — turn a tutorial's docker run command into a maintainable compose file.
• Refactoring — migrate from docker run scripts to compose-managed stacks.
• Documentation — show both forms side by side.
