Kompose (Kubernetes + Compose)

in #kompose channel

kompose is a tool to help users who are familiar with docker-compose move to Kubernetes. kompose takes a Docker Compose file and translates it into Kubernetes resources.

kompose is a convenience tool to go from local Docker development to managing your application with Kubernetes. Transformation of the Docker Compose format to Kubernetes resources manifest may not be exact, but it helps tremendously when first deploying an application on Kubernetes.

Use Case

If you have a Docker Compose docker-compose.yml or a Docker Distributed Application Bundle docker-compose-bundle.dab file, you can convert it into Kubernetes deployments and services like this:

$ kompose --bundle docker-compose-bundle.dab convert
WARN Unsupported key networks - ignoring
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "web-svc.yaml" created
file "web-deployment.yaml" created
file "redis-deployment.yaml" created

$ kompose -f docker-compose.yml convert
WARN Unsupported key networks - ignoring
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "web-svc.yaml" created
file "web-deployment.yaml" created
file "redis-deployment.yaml" created

Other examples are provided in the examples directory.

CentOS

Kompose is in EPEL CentOS repository. If you don't have EPEL repository already installed and enabled you can do it by running sudo yum install epel-release

If you have EPEL enabled in your system, you can install Kompose like any other package.

Shell autocompletion

We support both bash and zsh for autocompletion.

Bash:

source <(kompose completion bash)

Zsh:

source <(kompose completion zsh)

Building

Building with `go`

You need make
You need go v1.6 or later.
If your working copy is not in your GOPATH, you need to set it accordingly.

You can either build via the Makefile:

$ make bin

Or go build:

$ go build -o kompose main.go

If you have go v1.5, it's still good to build kompose with the following settings:

$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go build -o kompose main.go

To create a multi-platform binary, use the cross command via make:

$ make cross
