Introduce the ability to generate a Compose definition out of a running application

[deviantony]

This is a placeholder issue as we need to give more thoughts on this topic.

We should bring our users the ability to export an existing application as a Compose definition that can then be re-used as a stack.

Related to:

• Create/update s stack from container #4906
• Feature request: Clone service #1133

This may be a starting point for such a feature

I would definitely like to have this functionality.

A suggestion of a neat way to implement this: An additional option under "Container Status" (next to Logs, Inspect, Stats, Console, Attach) that creates a popout that shows either the generated docker run or docker-compose

So...? I think this feature would be very nice-to-have. Making the regular user go to the edit tab and the manually copy it to a yml file is a bit dumb...
I understand there are better ways to do it like in the API, but Portainer is aimed to make docker management easy to use, so a button to download some files would be great.
Thx

Any news on this?
