Kitematic docker config yml

Question

I spawned one docker container using kitematic.

I was following another tutorial related to a specific deployment need and want access to the yml file which contains the settings.

Can anybody help me know where does Kitematic store yml dockerfile corresponding to a docker container?

I think there's some confusion here. Just to be sure, a Dockerfile is not a docker-compose.yml file, they are two different things.

A Dockerfile defines an image while a docker-compose.yml file defines a container, about images and containers.

What Kitematic does is to download an image and let you modify from UI the ENV variables defined in the Dockerfile, check the Dockerfile reference.

If you want to check the Dockerfile of an image from the Kitematic UI:

Go to the main page
click on the button with the ... symbol
click on VIEW ON DOCKER HUB
from that page check the latest Dockerfile.

Kitematic has a caching\config folder in (Windows):

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Kitematic

But they are just binary files used for caching downloaded images, there's no configuration there (at least in clear text) and for sure no docker-compose.yml files.
