Generate a docker-compose file
Docker Compose describes one or more containers declaratively in a single YAML file, so you can start an entire application with one command. This generator builds a compose service from the image, published ports, volume mounts, environment variables and a restart policy. You fill in the fields and it produces well-formatted docker-compose.yml that you can save and run, or extend with additional services.
Compose files are far easier to read, share and version than long docker run commands.
Reproducible local environments
Compose is the standard way to run multi-container applications locally and in simple deployments, letting a whole stack of services, databases and caches start together consistently. Defining ports, volumes and environment variables in the file means anyone can reproduce the same setup, which is invaluable for onboarding and testing.
This generator creates a single service; add more services under the services key to build a full stack, and define shared networks and volumes as needed. Review the output and adjust indentation. All generation happens locally in your browser.
Notes on the output
Because the docker compose generator runs entirely in your browser, you can adjust every option and see the generated output update instantly, with nothing uploaded and no sign-up needed. The result is clean, standard configuration you can paste straight into your project and refine by hand, and because the processing is local, even sensitive values stay private on your own machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is docker-compose used for?
It defines and runs multi-container applications from a single YAML file, starting the whole stack with one command.
How do I add more services?
Add another entry under the services key with its own image and settings. Services in the same file can reference each other by name.
Why is Compose better than docker run?
Compose files are readable, version-controllable and reproducible, whereas long docker run commands are fragile and easy to get wrong.
How do I start the stack?
Save the output as docker-compose.yml and run the compose up command in that directory to start all the defined services.
