[Enhancement] Edit docker-compose file for existing services

[dchidell]

The ability to clone services is great, as these can be edited in-browser, saved and run. However for existing services there is no way (that I can see) to modify the compose file and re-'up' the service to apply changes made to containers within the service.

Can the functionality of editing a cloned service be extended to allow for editing of existing services?

Technically this should be possible, since clone already includes the existing env & docker-compose (from what I remember). I'd just have to add the endpoint to "update" an existing project (assuming that functionality doesn't exist).

When you say existing services you're referring to externally managed docker-compose projects, right?

If so, I think it would be pretty difficult to clone a running project since there is no way to create a docker-compose.yml file from a bunch of running containers.

Sorry I think I may have confused the issue by mentioning clone.

Essentially what I am trying to do is simply edit the compose file for an existing service within the UI.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I've implemented this feature and it is now available using francescou/docker-compose-ui:latest

I am now testing it and it should be included in the next release in the upcoming days.

I've tested this on the latest release and looks good! There's a small cosmetic issue that the message displayed in the bottom right displays 'created project' rather than 'updated project', but functionality wise I can't see any issues. Thanks for implementing this so quickly!

[francescou]

the feature has been released in francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0 (I've corrected the message as well)

I'm closing this issue, feel free to reopen if necessary.
