Show HN: Miniboss, versatile local container management with Python

  The most versatile way to manage containers locally

That's a good question, I think only this class would need to be reimplemented for podman: https://github.com/afroisalreadyinu/miniboss/blob/main/minib... . The question is of course whether there are any incompatibilities in terms of networking etc.

I've definitely experienced the problems of using Docker Compose for local dev. Oh, that file changed? Control-C to kill the whole cluster. Wait until the DB flushes. Start it again.

And if you just want to restart one service? Well you have to run 4 commands[0] in order to properly do it...

And what the author was saying about needing to "template" the YAML files is also true. In the past, when shipping an Open Source library for others to use, we had to wrap Docker Compose in a CLI that generates the YAML file and then invokes Docker Compose for you. (See it here[1][2])

It sucks and this library definitely solves a real problem!

  Discontinued (NOT MAINTAINED) Build And Testing Environments as Code Tool

  

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.

Check out Pulumi, it's a similar idea of python (or other languages) to generate container orchestration config for Kubernetes or other systems: https://www.pulumi.com/

  Automated ACME SSL certificate generation for nginx-proxy

  

The biggest difference/issue is that podman doesn't provide a daemon of events on its own.

It's docker-compose compatibility is tied up in essentially re-implementing/emulating that, which partially defeats the purpose.

My main need for the daemon component is https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion which listens to docker events to know when a new service is available to proxy.
