💖 DOCKER-COMPOSE-ALPHA-VIZ(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to docker-compose-alpha-viz(1) — the manual page for the lil graph-drawing gremlin that lives inside Docker Compose. it's EXPERIMENTAL, which is dev-speak for "she's cute, she's new, pls don't build your whole infra on her yet" 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

docker-compose-alpha-viz — EXPERIMENTAL — generate a graphviz graph from your compose file 🎀

like. it takes your compose file and turns it into a pretty picture. the way that's actually iconic ngl.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

docker compose alpha viz [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. <pink>docker compose alpha viz</pink> plus whatever options your heart desires 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

EXPERIMENTAL — generate a graphviz graph from your compose file.

fr fr, that's the entire description. no lore, no backstory, just vibes and nodes and edges. it reads your compose file and outputs graphviz, and you get to look at your services like the little constellation they are ✨

heads up bestie: this command is EXPERIMENTAL, so treat her gently. no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for viz. the classic "wait what does this do again" button 💖
  • --image[=false] — include service's image name in the output graph. so like, your graph gets a lil name tag 🏷️
  • --indentation-size=1 — number of tabs or spaces to use for indentation. yes, the default is literally 1. one (1). a single unit of indentation. she's minimal, she's sleek 🎀
  • --networks[=false] — include service's attached networks in the output graph. now you can see who's connected to who, which is honestly so real 🔥
  • --ports[=false] — include service's exposed ports in the output graph. all your lil port numbers out on display 👀
  • --spaces[=false] — if given, the space character ' ' will be used to indent; otherwise the tab character '\t' will be used. so it's spaces vs tabs, and yes, this manpage is officially picking a side by letting you pick 🫶

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

  • --dry-run[=false] — execute command in dry run mode. nothing actually happens, you just get to see what would have happened. a rehearsal, a dress rehearsal, a vibe check before the real thing 🌈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

go check out the parent command, she's the whole reason this lil viz exists 💖

and that's the page!! stay experimental, stay graphviz-y, and remember: Mar 2025, brought to you by the DOCKER-COMPOSE-ALPHA-VIZ(1) manual. mwah 💅💖✨
