Don’t copy old Docker files. Dockit them.
# Dockit is a developer-friendly CLI tool that helps you quickly scaffold and manage Docker-based services (like PHP, MySQL, Nginx, etc.) in your local development environment — with zero hassle.
- Add services with proper configuration
- Generate Docker Compose files in seconds
Starting a new project often means hunting down old Docker Compose files, remembering service versions, copying configs from previous local projects, or digging through GitHub repos. Dockit eliminates that repetitive setup pain by offering a guided workflow to build your stack from scratch — or even add new services to your dockit to use them in the future.
Install Dockit globally with pip:
pip install dockit-cliOr With pipx (recommended for macOS/Linux)
pipx install dockit-cli
- Python 3.11 or higher
- Docker installed and running
dockit initThis will walk you through setting up a new Docker environment with the services you choose.
dockit add-serviceOr hit dockit --help to see all commands.
dockit --help- Nginx
- PHP
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- MongoDB
- phpMyAdmin
Need to test it first? You can go with a simple container and checkout the tool instantly:
docker run -it --rm python:3.11-slim bash
# inside bash run:
pip install dockit-cli
# start use the tool
dockit --help
# or
dockit init
This will let you try Dockit in isolation without affecting your local setup.
