Compose Gen

Writing docker-compose from scratch is tedious. This tool scans your project, detects services, and generates a working docker-compose.yml. Database, cache, your app, all wired up correctly.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-docker-compose

What It Does

Scans your project to detect services needed
Generates docker-compose.yml with proper networking
Includes database, cache, and queue services as needed
Sets up volumes for persistence
Adds health checks and depends_on

Usage Examples

# Generate for current project
npx ai-docker-compose

# Specify services manually
npx ai-docker-compose --services postgres,redis,app

# Include development overrides
npx ai-docker-compose --with-dev

# Output to specific file
npx ai-docker-compose > docker-compose.yml

Best Practices

Use named volumes - Don't lose your data on container restart
Add health checks - Make depends_on actually wait for services
Separate dev and prod - Use docker-compose.override.yml for dev settings
Pin image versions - postgres:latest will break eventually

When to Use This

Containerizing an existing application
Don't remember the docker-compose syntax
Need a quick local development environment
Setting up a new service and need the boilerplate
