build
Build image from Dockerfile inline
profiles
Conditional service activation
deploy
Swarm/resource constraints (replicas, resources)
secrets / configs
Swarm secrets and configs
Top-level volumes
Named volume declarations with driver options

Restart Policies

ValueBehavior
noNever restart (default)
alwaysAlways restart
unless-stoppedRestart unless manually stopped
on-failureOnly on non-zero exit
on-failure:3Max 3 retries

Tips

  • Use \ at line end to break long commands across multiple lines.
  • Combined flags like -it or -dp are parsed correctly.
  • Both --flag value and --flag=value formats are supported.
  • The YAML output is editable — add depends_on, build or custom network configs after conversion.
  • Multiple services in a Compose file each generate their own docker run command.
