A conversion tool for Docker Compose to container orchestrators such as Kubernetes (or OpenShift).
Kompose is a conversion tool designed to streamline the process of translating Docker Compose files into Kubernetes manifests or OpenShift templates. This software simplifies the transition from Docker-based deployments to container orchestration platforms by automating the creation of compatible configurations.
Key Features:
Converts Docker Compose services, volumes, and networks into Kubernetes resources.
Supports multiple target orchestrators, including Kubernetes and OpenShift.
Handles complex service dependencies and configurations seamlessly.
Provides validation tools to ensure compatibility with target environments.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers and DevOps engineers managing containerized applications. Kompose enables efficient migration from Docker Compose setups to scalable, cloud-native deployments on Kubernetes or OpenShift, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors during the transition process. It can be installed via winget for easy setup in your development environment.
README
Kompose (Kubernetes + Compose)
kompose is a tool to help users who are familiar with docker-compose move to Kubernetes. kompose takes a Compose Specification file and translates it into Kubernetes resources.
kompose is a convenience tool to go from local Compose environment to managing your application with Kubernetes. Transformation of the Compose Specification format to Kubernetes resources manifest may not be exact, but it helps tremendously when first deploying an application on Kubernetes.
Use Case
Convert compose.yaml into Kubernetes deployments and services with one simple command:
$ kompose convert -f compose.yaml
INFO Kubernetes file "frontend-service.yaml" created
INFO Kubernetes file "redis-leader-service.yaml" created
INFO Kubernetes file "redis-replica-service.yaml" created
INFO Kubernetes file "frontend-deployment.yaml" created
INFO Kubernetes file "redis-leader-deployment.yaml" created
INFO Kubernetes file "redis-replica-deployment.yaml" created
Other examples are provided in the examplesdirectory.
Installation
We have multiple ways to install Kompose. Our preferred method is downloading the binary from the latest GitHub release.
Our entire list of installation methods are located in our installation.md document.

Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images.
Podman provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to anyone who has used the Docker Container Engine.
Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems.
Similar to other common Container Engines (Docker, CRI-O, containerd), Podman relies on an OCI compliant Container Runtime (runc, crun, runv, etc) to interface with the operating system and create the running containers.
This makes the running containers created by Podman nearly indistinguishable from those created by any other common container engine.
