dockserv
Simplified service manager using Docker containers.
Installation
You should install this module globally, as it's designed to be a command line tool.
$ npm install -g zackehh/dockserv
Basic Usage
The basic idea is that you load definitions into dockserv
to easily start/stop services. One such example is the below (for mongodb
).
moduleexports = image: 'mongo' binds: '$DOCKSERV_DATA/mongodb:/data/db' env: 'FOO=bar' ports: '27017' ;
Super simple, the above defines that we want to use the MongoDB image, bind the data directory, and forward port 27017. $DOCKSERV_DATA
is equal to $DOCKSERV_HOME/data
, and $DOCKSERV_HOME
can be changed via $ dserv set prefix <path>
.
Assuming the above lives in a file named mongo.js
, you can load it into dockserv
easily:
$ dserv add mongodb mongo.js
And at that point, you can start/stop as needed:
$ dserv start mongodb$ dserv stop mongodb$ dserv restart mongodb
You can also load definitions from a URL, for example:
$ dserv add mongodb https://gist.github.com/zackehh/f078940d29bf3f5fe8e4c5a568d06c48/raw/mongodb.js
Commands
You can view all available commands using $ dserv --help
until I get some documentation up and running, it should be pretty straightforward.
