Docker Run to Compose అంటే ఏమిటి?

This tool parses a docker run command line and converts every flag into its docker-compose.yml equivalent. It handles port mappings (-p), volume mounts (-v), environment variables (-e), container name (--name), restart policy (--restart), network mode, resource limits, logging configuration, security options, and many more flags.

All parsing happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. Choose between modern Compose format (no version key) or legacy v3.x/v2.x output.
