dce

Docker Compose execute task runner

Why use this?

Example in node dev:

You might have ran npm run <command>

Now in docker you have to run docker-compose exec <service_name> <command>

dce lets you remove the generic parts of the commands you run most often, so that you can now type dce <command>

e.g. dce test

Install

brew tap TimPerry/repo
brew install dce

Setup

Each project requires a .dce file in this format:

service_name=<your_service_name>
command_prefix=<the_command_prefix>

e.g. (node example)

service_name=app
command_prefix=npm run

ZSH + docker-compose plugin users

Add this to your .zshrc file unalias dce otherwise the plugin will take precedence.
