This document outlines all possible conversion details regarding docker-compose.yaml values to Kubernetes / OpenShift artifacts.
| Supported | Compose Version | Docker Engine Version |
|---|---|---|
| N | 3.8 | 19.03.0+ |
| N | 3.7 | 18.06.0+ |
| N | 3.6 | 18.02.0+ |
| N | 3.5 | 17.12.0+ |
| N | 3.4 | 17.09.0+ |
| Y | 3.3 | 17.06.0+ |
| Y | 3.2 | 17.04.0+ |
| Y | 3.1 | 1.13.1+ |
| Y | 3.0 | 1.13.0+ |
| Y | 2.4 | 17.12.0+ |

| Y | 2.2 | 1.13.0+ |
| Y | 2.1 | 1.12.0+ |
| Y | 2.0 | 1.10.0+ |
Note: We don't support anything 3.4 and above at the moment. It is reccomended to specify version: "3.3" in your docker-compose.yaml and converting. We use a library called libcompose that supports up to version 3.3. If you are interested in adding additional support, please open up a PR!
