🧭 Docker Compose Generator offline

How to Use

Select one or more services from the available templates, then generate a ready-to-use `docker-compose.yml` with all services properly configured. Perfect for quickly bootstrapping local development environments.

1. Check the boxes for services you want to include (e.g., Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis)
2. Click "Generate docker-compose.yml" to create the configuration
3. Copy the generated YAML file
4. Save it as docker-compose.yml in your project
5. Run docker-compose up -d to start all services

Use Cases

Multi-service compose files are perfect for:

• Full-stack applications - Combine Node.js + PostgreSQL + Redis for complete local development
• Microservice environments - Run multiple services with databases and message queues
• Testing infrastructure - Spin up realistic test environments with all dependencies
• Team onboarding - Share consistent development stacks with one docker-compose.yml
• Local development - Replace cloud services with local alternatives like MinIO and MailHog

Tips & Best Practices

Example: Full Stack Application

Selecting Node.js + PostgreSQL + Redis generates a complete development stack:

version: '3.8'

services:
  app:
    image: node:18-alpine
    container_name: app
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
    volumes:
      - ./:/app
      - ./node_modules:/app/node_modules

  postgres:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    container_name: postgres
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=admin
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret
      - POSTGRES_DB=mydb
    volumes:
      - postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    container_name: redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    volumes:
      - redis-data:/data

volumes:
  postgres-data:
  redis-data:

Comparison with online tools

Online generators require uploading config data. TurboUtil keeps everything local to protect credentials.
