updockRun any Docker app from one word.

No YAML. No flag-hunting. No copy-paste from Stack Overflow. Type a name, pick a version, answer a few prompts, and updock writes the Compose file and brings it up.

Quick start

Installation

One word in, a running app out

updock postgres searches Docker Hub, ranks the matches, and walks you to a running container.

No YAML, ever

It reads the image and asks only what matters: ports, passwords, env vars, volumes. Then it writes a clean docker-compose.yml and .env.

Strong secrets by default

Required passwords are generated with crypto/rand, stored in a 0600 .env, masked in every view, and never written into the Compose file.

Control by number

updock ls numbers everything. updock up 2, updock logs 2, updock rm 2. No names to retype.

Recipes for multi-service apps

WordPress with MySQL, Nextcloud with MariaDB, Gitea with Postgres, and more, scaffolded and wired together. Add your own as plain YAML.

Not a lock-in

Output is standard Compose. Keep the files and run docker compose yourself any time. No telemetry, ever.
