Foreman

It is a foreman implementation in GO.

Description

Foreman is a manager for Procfile-based applications. Its aim is to abstract away the details of the Procfile format, and allow you to run your services directly.

Features

• Run procfile-backed apps.
• Able to run with dependency resolution.

Procfile

Procfile is simply key: value format like:

app:
  cmd: ping -c 5 google.com 
  checks:
    cmd: sleep 1
  deps: 
      - redis
redis:
  cmd: redis-server --port 6010
  run_once: true
  checks:
    cmd: redis-cli -p 6010 ping

Here we defined two services app and redis with check commands and dependency matrix

How to use

First: add the procfile with processes or services you want to run.

second: run with command:

go run *.go
