❓ FAQ

Q: Does this tool work offline? A: Yes, the conversion happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to external servers.
Q: Can I convert multiple docker run commands? A: Currently, the tool converts one command at a time. For multiple services, convert each command separately and combine the results.
Q: What if my docker run command has complex parameters? A: The tool supports most common Docker parameters. If something isn't converted correctly, you can manually edit the generated YAML.
Q: Is the generated docker-compose.yml ready for production? A: The generated file provides a solid foundation, but you may want to add additional configurations like health checks, logging, or specific network configurations for production use.
