A Python CLI tool that inspects running Docker containers and generates a docker-compose YAML definition from them. It supports multiple containers in one compose file and can run as a Docker image itself.
Use cases
- generate docker-compose file from running container
- reverse-engineer compose yaml from existing docker containers
- migrate manually started containers to docker-compose
- export all running containers to a compose file
- recreate containers after deletion using compose
When to choose
- you started containers with long docker run commands and want to manage them with compose
- you need to migrate containers between hosts as compose definitions
- you want to snapshot the configuration of running containers
When to avoid
- you need to author compose files from scratch rather than from existing containers
- you need a GUI or continuous container management tool
- you require a permissively licensed dependency (GPLv2)
