Static argument conversion only. Images, paths, ports and runtime behavior are not checked. Literal dollars are escaped for Compose interpolation.

How it works & useful details

How it works & supported syntax

Converts static POSIX-like docker run arguments: name, publish, env NAME=value, volume, restart, entrypoint, user, workdir, hostname, interactive, tty, read-only and privileged. -d is noted as a launch choice. Unknown flags, inherited environment values, shell operators, expansions and unquoted globs are rejected.

Volumes support absolute Linux source paths or named volumes with /container/path and optional ro/rw. Ports support single numeric ports, optional IPv4 host binding and protocol. No ranges, IPv6 bindings, mount-option DSL or Windows paths. Literal dollar signs are escaped for Compose interpolation. Commands are preserved as argument lists; nothing is executed or checked against Docker.
