Compose Import

Compose Import

Compose import maps Docker Compose YAML into editable Run forms. It is experimental and defaults off; enable Settings → Experimental → Compose import.

Entry points

Compose import can start from:

• paste
• file picker
• drag and drop
• menu command
• command palette action

Behavior

Compose import fills one or more editable Run / Edit Form entries instead of launching an opaque stack. Services with images become prefilled runs; unsupported or ambiguous fields produce warnings.

Important translations:

• relative bind mounts resolve relative to the compose file directory
• platform fills the platform picker/custom value
• network_mode fills Network
• stdin_open and tty fill matching toggles
• env_file fills env file rows
• restart: unless-stopped normalizes to Contained's app-managed Always policy
• healthchecks become app-managed health checks

Target-only ports such as 8080 are skipped with a warning because they do not provide a host port to publish for this runtime.

Ownership

The importer should preserve user control: imported values remain editable, the CLI preview stays visible, and unsupported values are reported rather than silently guessed.
