docker run to docker-compose Converter

Overview

• Parses a docker run command — one you're running locally or one written in a setup guide — and converts it into the corresponding docker-compose.yml service definition (YAML).
• Supports --name (container name), -p (published ports), -e (environment variables), -v (volumes), -w (working directory), and --restart (restart policy).
• If --name is not specified, the service name is inferred from the image name.

Usage

1. Paste the docker run command into the input field.
2. Click the "Convert" button.
3. The corresponding docker-compose.yml service definition is displayed.

Example

docker run -d --name web -p 8080:80 -e ENV=production nginx:latest

services:
  web:
    image: nginx:latest
    container_name: web
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    environment:
      - ENV=production

Use Cases

• Migrating a manually run docker run command into a docker-compose.yml
• Rewriting a docker run example from a README or blog post's setup instructions into Compose format
• Preparing to combine multiple docker run commands into a single docker-compose.yml

FAQ

Notes

• The generated YAML does not include a `version` key, since recent Docker Compose versions following the Compose Specification recommend omitting it.
• The output performs only a basic conversion. Review and add settings like networks or health checks as needed for your actual setup.
