What it does
Turn a docker run one-liner into a docker-compose.yml service with the same image, ports, volumes, environment and restart policy.
It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you enter is uploaded.
Example
nginx container
docker run -d --name web -p 8080:80 -v ./site:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -e TZ=UTC --restart unless-stopped nginx:1.27services:
web:
image: nginx:1.27
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "8080:80"
volumes:
- ./site:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro
environment:
- TZ=UTCA web service with image nginx:1.27, restart: unless-stopped, port "8080:80", the read-only volume and TZ=UTC under environment.
FAQ
Which docker run options are converted?
-p/--publish, -v/--volume, -e/--env, --name, --restart and --network/--net (a network is also declared as external), with a space or = before the value; -d, -i, -t, -it and --rm are skipped. Every other flag, such as -w, --memory, --env-file or the attached form -p8080:80, is dropped without a warning.
Why is the image name wrong?
The converter takes the last word that is not an option as the image, so a command after the image replaces it: docker run alpine:3.20 echo hello gives image: hello. Remove the trailing command and add it as command: in the YAML yourself.
Is my command uploaded?
No. Parsing runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere, so secrets passed with -e stay on your machine.
