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.

• toolbox

  109 2,273 9.1 Shell

  Tool for interactive command line environments on Linux (by containers)

  

I'm currently testing fedora silverblue, which uses toolbox in a roughly similar way. https://github.com/containers/toolbox

One thing that bugs me is that I can't (or don't know how) get my current state into a Textfile, from which I can reproduce.

I actually do do this - https://github.com/mikadosoftware/workstation

I like the idea of using k8s as suggested upthread. I just have not had much time to push changes / work on it recently. One thing worth thinking about is i have moved to podman - seems a lot slower to start up but is user space which seems sensibke

• Scoop

  252 19,855 8.7 PowerShell

  A command-line installer for Windows.

  

If you want to do this on Windows, I'd recommend giving https://scoop.sh a try.

• index

  1 36 8.9 HTML

  A PEP 503-compliant Python package index specifically providing wheels built for Alpine Linux (by alpine-wheels)

  

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.
