About Docker Compose Validation

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container applications. Compose files use YAML to configure your app's services, networks, and volumes.

What we check:

Valid YAML syntax with precise error locations
Top-level structure (services, networks, volumes, configs, secrets)
Service keys against the Compose specification
Every service has an image or build directive
Network and volume references resolve to declared resources
depends_on references exist and don't self-reference
Port format validity and restart policy values
Unused declared volumes and networks

Format: Re-serializes your Compose file with consistent indentation and optionally sorted keys, making it easier to review and compare in version control.

Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent over the network.
