Portainer Stack Exporter

This is a small tool to export Docker-Compose Yaml definitions from Portainer to separate files for easy backup.

Preparations

1. Generate a new Access Token in Portainer (My account --> Access tokens)

2. Copy the CONFIG.example to CONFIG and update the URL to your Portainer instance as well as the access token you've generated in step 1

3. Install project dependencies (requests and rich) by running your favourite dependency manager. (If you're using uv, it'll do this automatically on the first run.)

Usage

Just run the porta_dump.py directly - you might have to set the execute bits first:

chmod a+x porta_dump.py
./porta_dump.py

It'll write all files into the current directory.
