`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.
More information about Kompose can be found on the official [http://kompose.io](http://kompose.io/) site.
`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:
```console
$ 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
```
## Installation
We have multiple ways to install Kompose. Our prefered method is downloading the binary from the latest GitHub release.
### GitHub release
Kompose is released via GitHub on a three-week cycle, you can see all current releases on the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases).
The current release we use is `0.5.0`.
```sh
# Linux
curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-linux-amd64 -o kompose
# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-darwin-amd64 -o kompose
# Windows
curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-windows-amd64.exe -o kompose.exe
```
Make the binary executable and move it to your PATH (e.g. `/usr/local/bin`)
```sh
chmod +x kompose
sudo mv ./kompose /usr/local/bin/kompose
```
## Kompose convert
Currently Kompose supports to transform either Docker Compose file (both of v1 and v2) and [experimental Distributed Application Bundles](https://blog.docker.com/2016/06/docker-app-bundle/) into Kubernetes and OpenShift objects.
There is a couple of sample files in the `examples/` directory for testing.
You will convert the compose or dab file to Kubernetes or OpenShift objects with `kompose convert`.
### Kubernetes
```console
$ cd examples/
$ ls
docker-compose.yml docker-compose-bundle.dab docker-gitlab.yml docker-voting.yml
$ kompose -f docker-gitlab.yml convert
file "redisio-svc.yaml" created
file "gitlab-svc.yaml" created
file "postgresql-svc.yaml" created
file "gitlab-deployment.yaml" created
file "postgresql-deployment.yaml" created
file "redisio-deployment.yaml" created
$ ls *.yaml
gitlab-deployment.yaml postgresql-deployment.yaml redis-deployment.yaml redisio-svc.yaml web-deployment.yaml
gitlab-svc.yaml postgresql-svc.yaml redisio-deployment.yaml redis-svc.yaml web-svc.yaml
```
You can try with a Docker Compose version 2 like this:
```console
$ kompose --file docker-voting.yml convert
WARN Unsupported key networks - ignoring
WARN Unsupported key build - ignoring
file "worker-svc.yaml" created
file "db-svc.yaml" created
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "result-svc.yaml" created
file "vote-svc.yaml" created
file "redis-deployment.yaml" created
file "result-deployment.yaml" created
file "vote-deployment.yaml" created
file "worker-deployment.yaml" created
file "db-deployment.yaml" created
$ ls
db-deployment.yaml docker-compose.yml docker-gitlab.yml redis-deployment.yaml result-deployment.yaml vote-deployment.yaml worker-deployment.yaml
db-svc.yaml docker-compose-bundle.dab docker-voting.yml redis-svc.yaml result-svc.yaml vote-svc.yaml worker-svc.yaml
```
You can also provide multiple docker-compose files at the same time:
```console
$ kompose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-guestbook.yml convert
file "frontend-service.yaml" created
file "mlbparks-service.yaml" created
file "mongodb-service.yaml" created
file "redis-master-service.yaml" created
file "redis-slave-service.yaml" created
file "frontend-deployment.yaml" created
file "mlbparks-deployment.yaml" created
file "mongodb-deployment.yaml" created
file "mongodb-claim0-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml" created
file "redis-master-deployment.yaml" created
file "redis-slave-deployment.yaml" created
$ ls
mlbparks-deployment.yaml mongodb-service.yaml redis-slave-service.jsonmlbparks-service.yaml
frontend-deployment.yaml mongodb-claim0-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml redis-master-service.yaml
frontend-service.yaml mongodb-deployment.yaml redis-slave-deployment.yaml
redis-master-deployment.yaml
```
When multiple docker-compose files are provided the configuration is merged. Any configuration that is common will be over ridden by subsequent file.
Using `--bundle, --dab` to specify a DAB file as below:
```console
$ 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
```
### OpenShift
```console
$ kompose --provider openshift --file docker-voting.yml convert
WARN [worker] Service cannot be created because of missing port.
INFO file "vote-service.yaml" created
INFO file "db-service.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-service.yaml" created
INFO file "result-service.yaml" created
INFO file "vote-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "vote-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "worker-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "worker-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "db-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "db-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "result-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "result-imagestream.yaml" created
```
In similar way you can convert DAB files to OpenShift.
```console
$ kompose --bundle docker-compose-bundle.dab --provider openshift convert
WARN: Unsupported key networks - ignoring
INFO file "redis-svc.yaml" created
INFO file "web-svc.yaml" created
INFO file "web-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "web-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-imagestream.yaml" created
```
It also supports creating buildconfig for build directive in a service. By default, it uses the remote repo for the current git branch as the source repo, and the current branch as the source branch for the build. You can specify a different source repo and branch using ``--build-repo`` and ``--build-branch`` options respectively.
```console
$ kompose --provider openshift --file buildconfig/docker-compose.yml convert
WARN [foo] Service cannot be created because of missing port.
INFO Buildconfig using git@github.com:rtnpro/kompose.git::master as source.
INFO file "foo-deploymentconfig.yaml" created
INFO file "foo-imagestream.yaml" created
INFO file "foo-buildconfig.yaml" created
```
**Note**: If you are manually pushing the Openshift artifacts using ``oc create -f``, you need to ensure that you push the imagestream artifact before the buildconfig artifact, to workaround this Openshift issue: https://github.com/openshift/origin/issues/4518 .
## Kompose up
Kompose supports a straightforward way to deploy your "composed" application to Kubernetes or OpenShift via `kompose up`.
### Kubernetes
```console
$ kompose --file ./examples/docker-guestbook.yml up
We are going to create Kubernetes deployments and services for your Dockerized application.
If you need different kind of resources, use the 'kompose convert' and 'kubectl create -f' commands instead.
INFO Successfully created service: redis-master
INFO Successfully created service: redis-slave
INFO Successfully created service: frontend
INFO Successfully created deployment: redis-master
INFO Successfully created deployment: redis-slave
INFO Successfully created deployment: frontend
Your application has been deployed to Kubernetes. You can run 'kubectl get deployment,svc,pods' for details.
$ kubectl get deployment,svc,pods
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
deploy/frontend 1 1 1 1 4m
deploy/redis-master 1 1 1 1 4m
deploy/redis-slave 1 1 1 1 4m

svc/frontend 10.0.174.12 <none> 80/TCP 4m
svc/kubernetes 10.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 13d
svc/redis-master 10.0.202.43 <none> 6379/TCP 4m
svc/redis-slave 10.0.1.85 <none> 6379/TCP 4m
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
po/frontend-2768218532-cs5t5 1/1 Running 0 4m

po/redis-slave-2504961300-nve7b 1/1 Running 0 4m
```
Note:
- You must have a running Kubernetes cluster with a pre-configured kubectl context.
- Only deployments and services are generated and deployed to Kubernetes. If you need different kind of resources, use the 'kompose convert' and 'kubectl create -f' commands instead.
### OpenShift
```console
$kompose --file ./examples/docker-guestbook.yml --provider openshift up
We are going to create OpenShift DeploymentConfigs and Services for your Dockerized application.
If you need different kind of resources, use the 'kompose convert' and 'oc create -f' commands instead.
INFO Successfully created service: redis-slave
INFO Successfully created service: frontend

INFO Successfully created deployment: redis-slave
INFO Successfully created ImageStream: redis-slave
INFO Successfully created deployment: frontend
INFO Successfully created ImageStream: frontend
INFO Successfully created deployment: redis-master
INFO Successfully created ImageStream: redis-master
Your application has been deployed to OpenShift. You can run 'oc get dc,svc,is' for details.
$ oc get dc,svc,is

is/redis-slave 172.30.12.200:5000/fff/redis-slave v1
```
Note:
- You must have a running OpenShift cluster with a pre-configured `oc` context (`oc login`)
## Kompose down
Once you have deployed "composed" application to Kubernetes, `kompose down` will help you to take the application out by deleting its deployments and services. If you need to remove other resources, use the 'kubectl' command.
```console
$ kompose --file docker-guestbook.yml down
INFO Successfully deleted service: redis-master
INFO Successfully deleted deployment: redis-master
INFO Successfully deleted service: redis-slave
INFO Successfully deleted deployment: redis-slave
INFO Successfully deleted service: frontend
INFO Successfully deleted deployment: frontend
```
Note:
- You must have a running Kubernetes cluster with a pre-configured kubectl context.
## Alternate formats
The default `kompose` transformation will generate Kubernetes [Deployments](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/deployments/) and [Services](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/services/), in yaml format. You have alternative option to generate json with `-j`. Also, you can alternatively generate [Replication Controllers](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/replication-controller/) objects, [Deamon Sets](http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/daemons/), or [Helm](https://github.com/helm/helm) charts.
```console
$ kompose convert -j
file "redis-svc.json" created
file "web-svc.json" created
file "redis-deployment.json" created
file "web-deployment.json" created
```
The `*-deployment.json` files contain the Deployment objects.
```console
$ kompose convert --rc
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "web-svc.yaml" created
file "redis-rc.yaml" created
file "web-rc.yaml" created
```
The `*-rc.yaml` files contain the Replication Controller objects. If you want to specify replicas (default is 1), use `--replicas` flag: `$ kompose convert --rc --replicas 3`
```console
$ kompose convert --ds
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "web-svc.yaml" created
file "redis-daemonset.yaml" created
file "web-daemonset.yaml" created
```
The `*-daemonset.yaml` files contain the Daemon Set objects
If you want to generate a Chart to be used with [Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm) simply do:
```console
$ kompose convert -c
file "web-svc.yaml" created
file "redis-svc.yaml" created
file "web-deployment.yaml" created
file "redis-deployment.yaml" created
chart created in "./docker-compose/"
$ tree docker-compose/
docker-compose
├── Chart.yaml
├── README.md
└── templates
├── redis-deployment.yaml
├── redis-svc.yaml
├── web-deployment.yaml
└── web-svc.yaml
```
The chart structure is aimed at providing a skeleton for building your Helm charts.
## Unsupported docker-compose configuration options
Currently `kompose` does not support some Docker Compose options, which are listed on the [conversion](http://kompose.io/conversion/) document.
For example:
```console
$ cat nginx.yml
nginx:
image: nginx
dockerfile: foobar
build: ./foobar
cap_add:
- ALL
container_name: foobar
$ kompose -f nginx.yml convert
WARN Unsupported key build - ignoring
WARN Unsupported key cap_add - ignoring
WARN Unsupported key dockerfile - ignoring
```
## Labels
`kompose` supports Kompose-specific labels within the `docker-compose.yml` file in order to explicitly define a service's behavior upon conversion.
- kompose.service.type defines the type of service to be created.
For example:
```yaml
version: "2"
services:
nginx:
image: nginx
dockerfile: foobar
build: ./foobar
cap_add:
- ALL
container_name: foobar
labels:
kompose.service.type: nodeport
```
- kompose.service.expose defines if the service needs to be made accessible from outside the cluster or not. If the value is set to "true", the provider sets the endpoint automatically, and for any other value, the value is set as the hostname. If multiple ports are defined in a service, the first one is chosen to be the exposed.
- For the Kubernetes provider, an ingress resource is created and it is assumed that an ingress controller has already been configured.
- For the OpenShift provider, a route is created.
For example:
```yaml
version: "2"
services:
web:
image: tuna/docker-counter23
ports:
- "5000:5000"
links:
- redis
labels:
kompose.service.expose: "counter.example.com"
redis:
image: redis:3.0
ports:
- "6379"
```
The currently supported options are:
| Key | Value |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------|
| kompose.service.type | nodeport / clusterip / loadbalancer |
| kompose.service.expose| true / hostname |
## Restart
If you want to create normal pods without controllers you can use `restart` construct of docker-compose to define that. Follow table below to see what heppens on the `restart` value.
| `docker-compose` `restart` | object created | Pod `restartPolicy` |
|----------------------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| `""` | controller object | `Always` |
| `always` | controller object | `Always` |
| `on-failure` | Pod | `OnFailure` |
| `no` | Pod | `Never` |
**Note**: controller object could be `deployment` or `replicationcontroller`, etc.
```yaml
version: '2'
services:
pival:
image: perl
command: ["perl", "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
restart: "on-failure"
```
#### Warning about DeploymentConfig
If the Docker Compose file has a volume specified for a service, the Deployment (Kubernetes) or DeploymentConfig (OpenShift) strategy is changed to "Recreate" instead of "RollingUpdate" (default). This is done to avoid multiple instances of a service from accessing a volume at the same time.
