Migrating from docker-compose.yml

If you already have docker-compose.yml or compose.yml, neth init can import it into nethera.yml.

$neth init

When prompted, choose to import the Compose file. Nethera normalizes the file and writes nethera.yml.

What usually changes

Add a nethera: block to any service you want reachable from the internet:

services:
  web:
    image: ghcr.io/acme/app:latest
    nethera:
      public: 3000
      auth: login

Check local file references

Nethera does not upload arbitrary local project files for MVP.

Unsupported:

services:
  web:
    build: .
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

Use:

• pushed container images instead of build: .;
• app-scoped secrets instead of env_file;
• absolute target-machine paths or named Docker volumes for persistent data;
• managed files for small text config files.

Deploy

After reviewing nethera.yml:

$neth deploy
