Yeah, but there's no compose file for the converter. How can you possibly run a single python script without docker+compose?

I'm this close to dropping everything and becoming an ermit living at the top of a mountain.
If you're using this script to convert something that isn't self-contained, you are further into the abyss than I ever ventured, and I am certain it will end terribly.
Hmm, does this handle CRDs and operators? My setup depends quite heavily on them you see. My application manifests use services and operators defined in my core manifests. Everything works together like a finely oiled machine rotating through a few too many dimensions. I do not remember why it works. The abyss calls to me, whispering of self configuring services. The undying light calls to me, with promises of simpler systems and less madness. I hesitate, and turn towards the abyss...
Yog Sa'rath, stay away from me.
After witness this creation, even Yog Sa`rath is eyeing you wearily and giving you a wide berth, recognising one of their own, who has risen above the rest.
You may want to take a look at such dreaded subjects, there's docs/future
Vibecoded app or not, I really hope this refreshingly unhinged writing style is all you.
Bono, my sanity is gone
And my tires
If you want to do it right, have a look at podlet (docker to podman quadlet converter), should get you 90% of the way there.
I'm afraid you had too much hope in me. Your project goes the right way - evolving docker to podman.
What i built is a devolution, it goes from kubernetes to docker.
Ah, my bad, down to might be interesting I guess.
Unnatural. Should be illegal.
I wish it was.
How does it handle helm features that are not valid compose features? Silent failure or loud warning?
Depends. take a look at docs/infrastructure. There are things that just can't be replicated with compose (autoscaling...), and some we can scam.
