Pure Emerald Level IndicatorsFrequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install Kappal?▼
Run `npx skills add sandys/kappal --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the skill globally. Kappal itself runs via a Docker image, so Docker is the only other prerequisite.
How to run docker-compose on Kubernetes?▼
Point Kappal at your existing docker-compose.yaml and run `kappal up -d`. It deploys your services on a built-in K3s cluster without you writing any Kubernetes manifests.
Do I need to learn Kubernetes or kubectl to use Kappal?▼
No. Kappal hides Kubernetes completely and mirrors Docker Compose commands like up, down, ps, logs, and exec, so kubectl is never exposed.
Does Kappal support volumes, secrets, and scaling?▼
Yes. It supports named and bind volumes, secrets, configs, networks, deploy.replicas scaling, healthchecks, and one-shot jobs for migrations or seeds.
Can I use Kappal without coding experience?▼
Yes. If you already have a docker-compose file, your AI agent can deploy, inspect, and tear down the stack from plain-English requests.
