About the Docker Compose Validator

Paste a Compose file to validate its structure: a services block, image or build on every service, unpinned or :latest tags, duplicate and malformed host port mappings, undefined named volumes and networks, unknown depends_on targets, privileged containers, host networking and missing restart policies.

Examples

Duplicate port

YAMLports:
  - "8080:80"
  - "8080:81"

Output

YAMLError: host port 8080 mapped twice
