About this tool
A `docker run` command with a dozen flags is hard to version, review or hand to a teammate — a Compose service definition is all three. This reads the flags and produces the equivalent service, never executing the command itself.
How to use it
- Paste a `docker run ...` command.
- Press Convert to get an equivalent docker-compose.yml service definition.
- Flags with no direct Compose equivalent (like --rm) are listed as a caveat rather than silently dropped.
Examples
Common problems
- My command uses a flag that isn't in the output at all.
- An unrecognised flag is listed under the caveats rather than silently ignored — check that list; anything not mentioned there but still missing from the YAML is worth double-checking by hand.
