Captain searches for docker-compose projects in your $HOME folder and allows you to start and stop those projects by matching the project's directory name.
If I have a folder called my-secret-project that contains a docker-compose.yml file, I can start that project using:
captain start my-secret-project
Captain will also do partial matching of the project name, so that you can also use:
captain start secret
Captain is smart, and does fuzzy matching:
captain start scrt
Stopping a project works similarly:
captain stop secret
Restart a project using:
captain restart my-secret-project
View logs of a project using:
captain logs my-secret-project
You can see all managable projects using:
captain list
To quickly stop all running docker containers, use:
captain abandon
Executing command in a running service container
captain exec <project> <service> <command>
captain exec my-secret-project web bash
Executing command as a new service container
captain run <project> <service> <command>
captain run my-secret-project cli bash
You can tweak some behaviour through some environmental variables:
- CAPTAIN_ROOT: the starting directory from where the docker-compose are searched (default: home dir of the user)
- CAPTAIN_DEPTH: the number of subdirectory where to search the docker-compose.yml files (default: 5)
