Tool I build to convert docker run commands to a docker-compose.yml file.

​

input:

docker run -d \
--name=firefly_iii_db \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=firefly \
-e POSTGRES_USER=firefly \
-v firefly_iii_db:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
postgres:10

docker run -d \
--name=firefly_iii_app \
--link=firefly_iii_db \
-e FF_DB_HOST=firefly_iii_db \
-e FF_DB_CONNECTION=pgsql \
-e FF_DB_NAME=firefly \
-e FF_DB_USER=firefly \
-e FF_DB_PASSWORD=firefly \
-e FF_APP_KEY=S0meRandomStr1ngOf32CharsExactly \
-e FF_APP_ENV=local \
-p 80:80 \
-v firefly_iii_export:/var/www/firefly-iii/storage/export \
-v firefly_iii_upload:/var/www/firefly-iii/storage/upload \
jc5x/firefly-iii

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
firefly_iii_db:
container_name: firefly_iii_db

environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=firefly

  3. Thank you not only for making this open source but accessible without me having to use node package manager to get that weird package that I’ve been using.

  5. Great works. But the following command seems not to work properly.

    docker run -dit \\

    \–name debug \\

    \-e HOST\_USER\_NAME=$USER \\

    \-e HOST\_USER\_ID=\`id -u\` \\

    \–runtime=nvidia \\

    \–privileged=true \\

    \-v /test:/test \\

    \–rm –ipc=host \\

    ubuntu /bin/bash

  7. Fantastic work! Question: would it be possible to convert in the opposite direction? `docker-compose.yml` -> the equivalent docker command?

    Use case (for me): I use compose for developing apps, and I’m aware `docker-compose` is less than I deal for deployment, best practice being to use the `docker` command in production. However, I currently lack the knowledge to fully translate my compose files to CLI.
