A Docker helper to create, manage and run clusters of containers

decking—simplified management for clusters of Docker containers

Decking aims to simplify the creation, organsation and running of clusters of Docker containers in a way which is familiar to developers; by reading information from a decking.json package file on a project by project basis.

Installation

[sudo] npm install -g decking

While the project is under heavy development, the best place to find the most up-to-date documentation is decking.io.

TODO

• proper error checking - so many cases not handled at all, let alone gracefully
• implement optional building of parent images when given a flag
• allow container image to be omitted if other keys are present; fuzzy match on images object
• tests!
• rework all output to always show full container list and update lines as necessary
• provide options to exclude 'implicit' cluster deps on start/stop/create
• add 'destroy' method - with appropriate warnings
• only allow standard 'word' characters in container names
• ensure dependencies have actually started before starting children (i.e. check port / logs)
