Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just using a docker run command? Why bothering converting?

A one-liner run command is hard to maintain, you may forget about what you are doing after one week. Besides, it is not convenient to edit options while using command, thus you should always use a compose.yml to maintain you self-hosted stack.

When do I need it?

When you come across a docker run command in some tutorial/doc, you can simply paste it here and convert.

What is the difference from Composerize?

More user-friendly -- I used to use Composerize a lot, but it lacks a copy&download button, makes it less perfect. Finally, I wrote my own frontend of it.

How does this converter work?

Our converter takes your docker run commands and automatically generates the corresponding docker-compose.yml file, saving you time and effort.

Why not using LLM/AI/ChatGPT... to do this?

Because it's faster and more predictable. All those are for more complex tasks -- I alse build a AI helper dedicated for docker related jobs, enhanced with search and knowledge base. You can find the link in the navbar.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, our Docker Compose converter is completely free to use with no signup required. We aim to make Docker development easier for everyone.
