plis

Plis

Helps your development process with Docker Compose by asking nicely :)

Install

On macOS, install it via Homebrew:

brew tap icalialabs/formulae
brew install plis

On other systems you can:

• Download the executable for your system from the Releases Page
• Place it on any of the paths reachable in $PATH

Special behaviors:

• plis start [services-optional]: Starts a docker-compose project, with the following extra functionality:
  • If some or all of the requested project's containers are missing, issues a docker-compose up -d command.
  • If all of the requested project's containers are present, issues a docker-compose start command.
• plis attach [service_name]: It figures out the given service's container, and attaches the console to it.
• plis run [service_name] [command]: It runs the given command:
  • If there's a running container for the given service, it executes it issuing a docker exec -ti command.
  • If there are no running containers for the given service, it executes it issuing a docker-compose run --rm command.

# Start a docker-compose project:
plis start

# Restart a service:
plis restart web

# Attach the console to a service:
plis attach web

# Run a command on an existing or new container:
plis run web rails c

# Stop a service:
plis stop web

TODO's:

• build command to invoke the docker-compose build command.
• Split up the big plis.go file.
• check context command to list the files that will pass to the Docker build context.
• start command with just one service should attach to the container immediately. (i.e.: plis start web starts a rails web container and attaches to it, mimicking the behavior of running rails server on the host)
• Change the run command to use docker-compose exec instead of docker exec whenever a running container is already available.
• Copy (from existing templates/examples) or generate blank dotenv files referenced in the Compose file.
• Install Docker (for Mac/Windows or native for Linux) if it is missing.
• Make plis start github.com/some_org/some_dockerized_app clone the project and run it.
• upgrade command that upgrades plis to the newest version.
• prune command to invoke docker system prune.
