About:
Decompose is a reverse-engineering tool designed to analyze and reconstruct Docker environments. It inspects running containers and networks to generate infrastructure-as-code artifacts like Docker Compose files or Terraform configurations. This enables developers to recover lost configurations or migrate existing setups into managed environments.

Key Features:

Automated discovery of running Docker containers and networks
Generates Docker Compose YAML or Terraform HCL configurations
Supports multiple output formats for easy integration
Zero-configuration operation for quick analysis

Use Cases:

Recovering lost Docker Compose files from running containers
Migrating legacy Docker environments to infrastructure-as-code
Auditing and documenting existing Docker setups

Alternatives:

docker-compose – Native tool for defining multi-container apps, but requires manual creation unlike Decompose's automated generation
container-diff – Focuses on container image analysis rather than runtime environment reconstruction
