What docker run flags does this tool support?

The converter supports the most common docker run flags including: -e / --env (environment variables), -p / --publish (port mappings), -v / --volume (volume mounts), --name (container name), --network (network), --restart (restart policy), --entrypoint, -u / --user, -w / --workdir, -d / --detach, --rm, --privileged, and --hostname. Unrecognised flags are noted in a comment.

Is my docker run command sent to a server?

No. All parsing and conversion runs entirely in your browser using TypeScript. Nothing is sent to any server, and no data is stored.

Can I convert multiple docker run commands at once?

Currently the tool converts one docker run command at a time. Each conversion maps to a single service entry inside a docker-compose.yml file.

Why should I use docker-compose instead of docker run?

docker-compose files are declarative, version-controlled, and easy to share with your team. They also let you define multiple services, networks, and volumes in one file — making reproducible environments much simpler.
