• On Debian: sudo apt-get install graphviz

Usage

render [options] [--] [<input-file>]

Arguments:
  input-file                         Path to a docker compose file [default: "./docker-compose.yml"]

Options:
  -o, --output-file=OUTPUT-FILE      Path to a output file (Only for "dot" and "image" output format) [default: "./docker-compose.dot" or "./docker-compose.png"]
  -m, --output-format=OUTPUT-FORMAT  Output format (one of: "dot", "image", "display") [default: "display"]
      --only=ONLY                    Display a graph only for a given services (multiple values allowed)
  -f, --force                        Overwrites output file if it already exists
      --no-volumes                   Do not display volumes
  -r, --horizontal                   Display a horizontal graph

How to read the graph

Links

Links (from services.<service>.links) are displayed as plain arrows pointing to the service that declares the link:

If we look at the link between mysql and ambassador, it reads as follow: "mysql is known as mysql in ambassador." If we look at the link between ambassador and logs, it reads as follow: "ambassador is known as logstash in logs."

Volumes

Volumes (from services.<service>.volumes_from) are displayed as dashed arrows pointing to the service that uses the volumes:

If we look at the link between logs and api, it reads as follow: "api uses volumes from logs."

Volumes (from services.<service>.volumes) are displayed as folders with the host directory as label and are linked to the service that uses them dashed arrows.

If we look at the link between ./api and api, it reads as follow: "the host directory ./apiis mounted as a read-write folder on /src in api." Bidirectional arrows mean the directory is writable from the container.

If we look at the link between ./etc/api/php-fpm.d and api, it reads as follow: "the host directory ./etc/api/php-fpm.dis mounted as a read-only folder on /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d in api." Unidirectional arrows mean the directory is not writable from the container.

Dependencies

Dependencies (from services.<service>.depends_on) are displayed as dotted arrows pointing to the service that declares the dependencies:

If we look at the link between mysql and logs, it reads as follow: "mysql depends on logs."

Ports

Ports (from services.<service>.ports) are displayed as circle and are linked to containers using plain arrows pointing to the service that declares the ports:

If we look at the link between port 2480 and orientdb, it reads as follow: "traffic coming to host port 2480 will be routed to port 2480 of orientdb." If we look at the link between port 2580 and elk, it reads as follow: "traffix coming to host port 2580 will be routed to port 80 of elk."
