Pierun

The modern development process, reached the level of complexity where isolating projects on libraries levels seems to be not enough, despite the fact that tools like virtualenv and rvm are doing perfect job. Rarely projects are combined only from language packages.

Pierun project was inspired by both Python's virtualenv and Vagrant projects. It tries to combine a simplicity of virtualenv with the power of Vagrant, with everything build on the top of Docker shoulders.

INSTALL

Those steps are Ubuntu (since this is what I've got)

pierun

$ pip install pierun

docker

From the Docker website website

$ curl -sSL https://get.docker.io/ubuntu/ | sudo sh

sshfs

To get shares between host machine and docker run right

$ sudo apt install sshfs

USAGE

create

To create new environment.

$ pierun create {name}

If you are creating the first environment, it make take a while, since it needs to download an image.

All environments are created with use of the Dockerfile template, which is located under ~/.pierun/Dockerfile. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs.

go

To jump into the environment.

$ pierun go {name}

Currently it uses ssh connections between host machine and virtual environment

run

To run command without going into the environment.

$ pierun run {name} {command}

The comand pwd will be set to the root of the the environment eg.

$ pierun run test-env ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
