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.)
