Dock CLI

This CLI application provides an abstraction layer for Docker-based projects.

Note: right now, it's focused on OSX and Debian-based Linux distributions.

Getting started

This tool also helps you to install our recommended Docker setup on your computer, including direct container routing and DNS resolutions.

Read the installation instructions.

Project-related usage

You can now start up a specific project by running the start command in the project directory:

dock-cli start

Once the containers are compiled and started, this start command will display you an overview of the running components and their addresses (that you can also to have later with the ps command).

Example output using the docker-php-example project
