Docker Run to Compose
Paste a docker run command and generate the equivalent docker-compose.yml.
About Docker Run to Compose
Docker Run to Compose converts docker run CLI commands into docker-compose.yml service definitions. Paste a docker run command with all its flags — ports (-p), volumes (-v), environment variables (-e), network settings, restart policies, and more — and get the equivalent docker-compose.yml output immediately.
This saves the time of manually translating CLI flags to YAML syntax and looking up the correct property names. The generated YAML is properly formatted and ready to paste into an existing compose file or start a new one.
Useful when adopting Docker Compose for a project that started with raw docker run commands, or when following tutorials that only show docker run examples.
