Compose Bridge produces Kubernetes manifests so you can deploy your Compose application to Kubernetes that is enabled on Docker Desktop.

Based on an arbitrary compose.yaml project, Compose Bridge will produce:

• A Namespace so all your resources are isolated and don't colide with another deployment
• A ConfigMap with an entry for each and every config resource in your Compose model
• Deployments for application services
• Services for ports exposed by your services, used for service-to-service communication
• Services for ports published by your services, with type LoadBalancer so that Docker Desktop will also expose same port on host
• Network policies to replicate the networking topology expressed in Compose
• PersistentVolumeClaims for your volumes, using hostpath storage class so that Docker Desktop manages volume creation
• Secrets with your secret encoded - this is designed for local use in a testing environment

And a Kustomize overlay dedicated to Docker Desktop with:

• Loadbalancer for services which need to expose ports on host
• A PersistentVolumeClaim to use the Docker Desktop storage provisioner desktop-storage-provisioner
• A Kustomize file to link the all those resources together
