Possible alternative: compose2exe fixes the docker docker bug and adds docker-compose support

[alexbjclot]

Hi! I've been using docker2exe and ran into the known "docker docker" bug (issues #5 and #12)
while trying to run generated binaries on WSL2 and Windows.

Since the bug has been open since 2022 with no fix, I ended up building an alternative called
compose2exe that addresses these issues and adds full docker-compose.yml support.

What's different:

• Fixes the "docker docker load" bug in shim.go
• Adds port mapping (-p) to the generated docker run command
• Supports multiple containers, networks, depends_on, environment variables
• File-based volumes (e.g. mosquitto.conf) are embedded inside the binary automatically
• Preflight checks before starting (Docker installed, daemon running, ports available)
• Works on Windows, Linux and macOS
