Docker Run to Compose
Convert docker run commands to docker-compose.yml.
How to Use
Paste a docker run command into the input field and the tool will parse it and generate an equivalent docker-compose.yml service definition. It handles flags like -p (ports), -v (volumes), -e (environment variables), --name, --network, --restart, and more.
Common Use Cases
- Converting long docker run commands from tutorials into maintainable docker-compose files
- Migrating ad-hoc container deployments to version-controlled Compose configurations
- Documenting container configurations that were originally run as one-off commands
- Building multi-service Compose files by converting individual docker run commands
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support all docker run flags?
The tool supports the most commonly used flags including ports (-p), volumes (-v), environment variables (-e), container name (--name), network (--network), restart policy (--restart), and resource limits. Some advanced flags may need manual addition.
Which docker-compose version does it generate?
The tool generates Compose files compatible with the version 3 specification, which is the most widely supported format across Docker Compose v1, v2, and Docker Desktop.
Can I convert multiple docker run commands at once?
Paste each docker run command separately to generate individual service definitions, then combine them into a single docker-compose.yml file with shared networks and volumes as needed.
