docker-compose-validator

What problem does it solve?

It helps you catch Docker Compose syntax, configuration, dependency, and security issues before deployment so services don’t fail unexpectedly or expose unsafe settings.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Compose validation workflow: checks YAML syntax, runs docker compose config resolution, and produces a severity-based report with proposed remediations (read-only by default).
• Dependency and readiness auditing: verifies depends_on targets exist, validates condition: service_healthy requires a healthcheck, and flags circular dependencies.
• Security and operational checks: evaluates networks, volumes, and common security risks like privileged mode, host networking, root execution, plaintext secrets, and :latest image tags.

Quick Start

Use the docker-compose-validator skill to audit your compose file compose.yaml for errors, warnings, and security findings before running it.
