I had an issue recently with getting FileBrowser to run and while researching that, I found this tool which creates a docker-compose.yml file from a docker run command. It worked well for me, so I am passing it along to you all. I hope someone else finds this helpful.
(Not my tool / site, to be clear)
I recently discovered k3d. It’s a light wrapper around k3s, which is kubernetes on docker. It’s amazingly easy to use! If you have docker installed, you can learn the commands and create a k8s cluster in under 5 minutes.
For anyone like me that likes k8s, k3d is a fantastic alternative to docker compose!
I guess it’s finally to the point where selfhosters can admit to using k8s and not be bombarded by comments saying it’s overkill, which has happened in the past for:
- Self hosting at all
- Using VMs
- Using containers
- Using docker compose
- Using k8s (⬅️ I guess we are here)
- Using helm charts or whatever ends up replacing this
Anyway, I believe there is a tool also to turn docker compose files into k8s manifests if we want to take this a step further!
I use Dockge (in addition to portainer as a ‘something went sideways and I need more capabilities’), which has this ability built-in. It’s quite nice.
Hey I love this tool but be careful if your docker run command is super long or complicated, it’s not perfect.
I use this almost every time I need to launch something on my Portainer setup. It’s not perfect but works like a charm to convert simpler docker runs into yaml files.
