Docker Compose files are the standard for multi-container apps, but translating docker run flags to YAML syntax is tedious and error-prone.
How It Works
The parser tokenizes docker run commands with proper quote handling. Each flag maps to its Compose equivalent. Named volumes and networks are extracted to top-level sections.
Who Is This For
A developer converts a working docker run command to docker-compose.yml for local development.
A DevOps engineer converts Quick Start guide commands to Compose format for CI/CD.
