Crane

Lift containers with ease - www.craneup.tech

Overview

Crane is a Docker orchestration tool similar to Docker Compose with extra features and (arguably) smarter behaviour. It works by reading in some configuration (JSON or YAML) which describes how to run containers. Crane is ideally suited for development environments or continuous integration.

Features

• Extensive support of Docker run flags
• Simple configuration with 1:1 mapping to Docker run flags
• docker-compose compatible
• ultra-fast bind-mounts via Unison on Mac in the PRO version
• Shortcut commands
• Grouping of containers
• Excluding / limiting containers via CLI
• Smart detach / attach behaviour
• Verbose output which shows exact Docker commands
• Hooks
• ... and much more!
