About Docker Compose Validator

Docker Compose is a tool for defining multi-container Docker applications using a YAML file. This validator checks your compose file for YAML syntax errors, required fields (like 'services'), and common mistakes such as services missing both 'image' and 'build' directives, malformed port mappings, and the deprecated top-level 'version' key. It also reformats the YAML for consistency. Compatible with both Docker Compose v2 and the modern Compose Specification.

Private & free — this tool runs entirely in your browser.
