+# Migrating Portainer / docker-compose.yml to Rancher RKE2 Kubernetes Cluster
+You may be comfortable operating with Portainer or `docker-compose`, but there comes a point where you might want to migrate those existing workloads to a Kubernetes cluster as easily-as-possible.  Lucklily, there is a way to do this using a tool called "**Kompose**'.  Follow the instructions seen below to convert and deploy your existing `docker-compose.yml` into a Kubernetes cluster such as Rancher RKE2.
+
+## Installing Kompose
+The first step involves downloading Kompose from https://kompose.io/installation.  Once you have it downloaded and installed onto your environment of choice, save a copy of your `docker-compose.yml` file somewhere on-disk, then open up a terminal and run the following command:
+
+```sh
+kompose --file docker-compose.yaml convert --stdout > compose-k8s.yaml
+```
+
+This will attempt to convert the `docker-compose.yml` file into a Kubernetes manifest YAML file.  The Before and after example can be seen below:
+
+=== "docker-compose.yml`"
+
+``` yaml
+version: "2.1"
+services:
+  ntfy:
+    image: binwiederhier/ntfy
+    container_name: ntfy
+    command:

+      - NTFY_BASE_URL=https://ntfy.bunny-lab.io
+      - TZ=America/Denver    # optional: Change to your desired timezone
+    #user: UID:GID # optional: Set custom user/group or uid/gid
+    volumes:
+      - /srv/containers/ntfy/cache:/var/cache/ntfy
+      - /srv/containers/ntfy/etc:/etc/ntfy
