Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less?

• devenv

  88 3,410 9.8 Nix

  Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments

  

It would be a smoother transition for most I imagine to use nix via https://devenv.sh/ even if only for it's excellent documentation.

• emergency-management-tools

  1 4 8.5 JavaScript

  Source code to support emergency events

  

• typescript-pgtyped-starter

  1 3 7.8 TypeScript

  A standalone full-stack starter project with PgTyped-based query generation.

My ideal is a starter that offers a nice blend of microservices and configures them for me just enough to get them working in easy-to-manage and organized way. Most importantly, they are all optional and easily removable.

I do this with npm scripts for "compose", "start", "stop", and "reset" for every service and tie it all together with dotenv for environment vars. Currently, I have dockerized Traefik (partially), Webpack (dev server only so far), Pocketbase, PostgreSQL, PostgREST, Swagger UI, PgTyped, and MongoDB under this and will soon also dockerize the Express-based RESTish API feature.

• mise

  42 6,069 9.9 Rust

  dev tools, env vars, task runner

Would recommend checking out mise. It's a newer clone of asdf. I switched due to bugs I was running into specifically with using asdf to manage versions of python.
