I have been search google for a solution to the below problem for longer than I care to admit.

I have a docker-compose.yml file, which allows me to fire up an ecosystem of 2 containers on my local machine. Which is awesome. But I need to be able to deploy to Google Container Engine (GCP). To do so, I am using Kubernetes; deploying to a single node only.

In order to keep the deploying process simple, I am using kompose, which allows me to deploy my containers on Google Container Engine using my original docker-compose.yml. Which is also very cool. The issue is that, by default, Kompose will deploy each docker service (I have 2) in seperate pods; one container per pod. But I really want all containers/services to be in the same pod.

I know there are ways to deploy multiple containers in a single pod, but I am unsure if I can use Kompose to accomplish this task.

Here is my docker-compose.yml:

version: "2"
services:
  server:
    image: ${IMAGE_NAME}
    ports:
      - "3000"
    command: node server.js
    labels:
      kompose.service.type: loadbalancer
  ui:
    image: ${IMAGE_NAME}
    ports:
      - "3001"
    command: npm run ui
    labels:
      kompose.service.type: loadbalancer
    depends_on:
      - server

Thanks in advance.
