How to use the Docker Compose Generator

Set your project name and app port.
Tick the services you need.
Download docker-compose.yml and run docker compose up.

What does this tool do?

Docker Compose runs several containers together — your app plus its database, cache and tools — with one command. The generator writes the services, ports, named volumes and sensible defaults like restart policies and a Postgres health check.

Your app service depends on the databases you pick, so they start first.

Why use it?

Nine common services.
Volumes and dependencies wired up.
Current official images.

Accuracy and limits

Replace every “change-me” password and keep secrets in an .env file before deploying.
