    A process manager & log viewer for dev

  • Hi there, I'm the tech lead for this project.

    In the course of working on another project, the team and I were comparing notes with friends our various multi-process dev environment setups. Everything from a bunch of terminal tabs open, to typical Procfile runners, to advanced tmux usage, to systemd, and supervisord, and more.

    There are a handful of process supervisors specifically targeting dev out there, but none that met our requirements.

    Exo is our first step towards building a robust solution to this problem. Once we started hacking, the ideas started flowing, but we had to draw a cutline somewhere, so this MVP is just a Foreman-style Procfile runner. Next-up is Docker Compose compatibility, but there is so much more beyond that planned too.

    If you give it a try and have thoughts, please file an issue or open a discussion at https://github.com/deref/exo - or email me at [email protected]

    If you like it, please give us a star :)

    Cheers,

    Process manager for Procfile-based applications and tmux

  • Looks pretty cool! I've recently become a fan of Overmind (https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind), which does something similar. I like the GUI of exo, though, so I may give it a shot sometime as well.
