docker-compose-diagram

🐳 docker-compose + 🎨 diagrams = docker-compose-diagram 🐳🎨

Motivation

This tool combines diagrams package and docker-compose allowing you to create diagrams out of docker-compose files. The tool might be helpful for documentation purposes.

Installation

Please install graphviz. Then install this util from pypi via pip or other package manager.

pip install docker-compose-diagram

Usage

compose-diagram --file docker-compose.yml --direction=TB --nodesep=1.2
