Show HN: Miniboss, versatile local container management with Python
If you're dockerizing a dev environment check out batect, it's kind of like the combo of docker-compose + make (i.e. simple script running) that is really the tool we all just want: https://batect.dev/ It can easily define one-off container tasks like integration test runs with just a couple lines of config.

Monthly 'Shameless Self Promotion' thread - 2021/07
Earlier this year at $DAYJOB I was on a project to uplift the deployment pipelines and DevOps capabilities within the team. Today we have full Continuous Deployment, Trunk Based Development, and SlackOps. I've written a couple of articles below on the approach we took which was around heavy use of Docker and the tool Batect.

Docker as an Integrated Development Environment
Go the next step and run a local kubernetes cluster with kind or k3s (it will take you 30 seconds to have a k8s cluster going). IMHO the kubectl CLI is a lot more logical than docker's CLI. You can create all your local storage volumes ahead of time, create a pod that attaches to it, and then just kubectl exec into the pod vs. writing a long fiddly docker command line string (or crafting a docker-compose.yml). It's easy to adjust the pod as necessary while it runs too, like adding a service to expose ports without rerunning the container.
But if you do like the idea of docker dev environemnts, check out a tool like batect: https://github.com/batect/batect It's somewhat like if docker-compose had make-like commands you could define. Your whole dev environment and workflow can be defined in a simple yaml config that anyone can use.

Docker as an Integrated Development Environment
I was not aware of prior work so I maintain Alpine wheels for packages I use personally in a GitHub org.
https://github.com/alpine-wheels/index
Besides my own needs, only one other person has requested additional packages, which I was happy to add. Maintenance is minimal, mostly just approving pull requests created by Dependabot.
What are some alternatives?
Docker Compose - Define and run multi-container applications with Docker
workstation - Docker based portable Workstation
toolbox - Tool for interactive command line environments on Linux
tox-poetry-installer - A plugin for Tox that lets you install test environment dependencies from the Poetry lockfile
devtron - Tool integration platform for Kubernetes
dephell - :package: :fire: Python project management. Manage packages: convert between formats, lock, install, resolve, isolate, test, build graph, show outdated, audit. Manage venvs, build package, bump version.
Komga - Media server for comics/mangas/BDs/magazines/eBooks with API and OPDS support
django-kcproject-starter - Kickstart Coding's Django Project Starter Template
Scoop - A command-line installer for Windows.
