What is Docker Compose Generator?
How to Use Docker Compose Generator
Start by selecting a pre-built template (MERN, LAMP, WordPress, Redis+Node, or PostgreSQL+Django) or build from scratch. Click "Add Service" to add a new container service. For each service, configure the image name, container name, exposed ports (host:container), volume mounts, environment variables, and service dependencies (depends_on). The docker-compose.yml output updates in real time on the right panel. Copy the generated YAML or download it as a docker-compose.yml file.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Docker Compose version does this generate?▼
The tool generates docker-compose.yml files using the Compose Specification format (version 3.8), which is compatible with Docker Compose V2 and Docker Desktop.
What pre-built templates are available?▼
The tool includes templates for MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), WordPress with MySQL, Redis with Node.js, and PostgreSQL with Django. Each template pre-configures services with common settings.
Can I add custom services?▼
Yes. Click "Add Service" to create a blank service, then fill in the image, ports, volumes, environment variables, and dependencies. You can mix template services with custom ones.
Can I download the generated file?▼
Yes. Use the Download button to save the generated configuration as a docker-compose.yml file that you can place in your project directory.
Does it support Docker networks?▼
The generated file uses Docker Compose default networking, which automatically creates a network for all services in the file. Services can reach each other by their service name as the hostname.
Is my configuration data sent to a server?▼
No. All generation happens entirely in your browser. Your configuration never leaves your machine.
