Frequently Asked Questions
What docker run options are supported?
Ports (-p), volumes (-v), environment variables (-e), networks, restart policies, container names, image tags, and more.
Can I convert complex multi-option commands?
Yes. The converter parses chained flags like -p 8080:80 -v /data:/app/data -e NODE_ENV=production into proper compose syntax.
Does it handle Docker Compose v3 syntax?
Yes. Output uses Compose Specification syntax compatible with docker-compose v2+ and Docker Compose v2.
Can I customize the output format?
You can choose between YAML and JSON output formats, and set the compose file version.
Is the docker run command sent to a server?
No. All parsing and conversion happens locally in your browser. No command data is transmitted.
What Compose version and service name come out?
Output always opens with version "3.8" and a services: block. Unnamed runs become service app; a -v name:/path entry whose left side is not a / or . path is also declared under top-level volumes:, and --network entries land under networks: with driver bridge.
