About Docker Compose to Kubernetes Converter

Docker Compose is great for local dev, but Kubernetes needs manifests. The Docker Compose to Kubernetes Converter turns a compose file into Deployment and Service resources so you can move a stack to a cluster without hand-writing YAML.

Paste your compose file, choose a Service type, and the tool maps image, ports, environment and volumes into valid core/v1 and apps/v1 objects. Services that publish ports get a matching Service. The result is a single multi-document YAML.

Service names are sanitized to RFC 1123 labels. Problems are reported in a clear panel. Everything runs locally and nothing is uploaded.

Features

  • Per-service Deployment - image, env, command, volumes.
  • Service per published port - ClusterIP/NodePort/LoadBalancer.
  • Port mapping - HOST:CONTAINER to Service/containerPort.
  • Volume mapping - hostPath mounts with readOnly.
  • Multi-document - one file, all resources.
  • Copy / Download / Print - get manifests.yaml wherever you need it.

How to Use

  1. Paste your compose file.
  2. Pick a Service type.
  3. Watch the preview and export.

Examples

Example 1 - web. image nginx, ports 8080:80 -> Deployment + Service.

Example 2 - db. ports 5432:5432 -> Service targeting 5432.

Example 3 - volume. ./datanswer:/data -> hostPath mount.

Benefits

  • Fast migration - compose to K8s in seconds.
  • Valid schema - apps/v1 + core/v1 output.
  • Validated - names sanitized to RFC 1123.
  • Clean output - unmapable fields skipped with notes.
  • Private - everything runs in the browser.
  • Copy, download or print - get the manifest where you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this converter do?
It reads a docker-compose.yml and emits one Kubernetes Deployment per service plus a Service for any service that publishes ports, as a single multi-document YAML file.
Which compose fields are mapped?
image, ports (HOST:CONTAINER), environment, volumes (HOST:CONTAINER), command and container_name are mapped. Other fields are ignored with a note.
How are ports handled?
A published port HOST:CONTAINER becomes a Service port (host) targeting containerPort (container). A bare container port becomes both.
How are volumes handled?
HOST:CONTAINER volumes become a hostPath volume mounted at the container path, with readOnly when :ro is given.
Does this connect to a cluster?
No. Everything is assembled in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Can I download it?
Yes. Copy the YAML, download manifests.yaml, or print it.
