Compose Craft

Compose Craft is an open-source web application for managing Docker Compose configurations through an intuitive graphical interface. It helps teams and individuals quickly understand and build multi-service stacks by turning compose files into interactive diagrams.

Key Features

• Visual editor for creating and editing Docker Compose services and settings
• Automatic diagram visualization of services and their relationships
• Import existing docker-compose.yml files and export generated configurations
• Management of environment variables, volumes, networks, ports, and other compose options
• One-click link sharing for compose diagrams (optional SaaS-oriented feature)
• Optional GitHub integration for working with repositories
• Built-in code editing experience for compose/YAML

Use Cases

• Designing and documenting multi-container application stacks before deployment
• Reviewing and understanding unfamiliar Docker Compose projects faster
• Collaborating on compose changes by sharing diagrams and exported files

Limitations and Considerations

• Some sharing and integration features may depend on configuration choices and can be disabled for a simpler “core-only” deployment
• Requires a MongoDB database for persistence in typical deployments

Compose Craft is well-suited for developers who prefer a visual workflow for Docker Compose while still retaining the ability to import and export standard compose files. It bridges GUI-based modeling and practical configuration management for real-world container stacks.
