I don't see the point of a dedicated tool for this when it is easy enough just to start a Alpine docker container with a couple commands. As this project is just a wrapper for docker and LXD[1] and those tools are already easy enough for the average SWE to interact with, the project seems to just over-complicate an already existing workflow.

Your team might want to use asdf https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf to run multiple native versions of PostgreSQL and Redis in parallel. Even with one project you might have multiple versions of those tools in different releases of the project. You standardize by using a .tool-versions file. I've been using that for a team targeting Linux and developing on Ubuntu, Mac and WSL (or was that an Ubuntu VM in Windows?)
I think they have split it into far too many small pages, the whole CLI section should be one page, it not the whole lot.
Slight aside though, they have used the Material theme for MKDocs, which is much more than a theme, it's a whole extension package of bells a whistles for MKDocs. I'm not actually too keen on "Material for MKDocs" [0], I like all the clever plugins, but the theme itself I find distracting and too "loud". The theme jumps out more than the content itself.
In the Python ecosystem Material for MKDocs seems to be the leading default at the moment, however I much prefer Furo for Sphinx, it's much cleaner, it's about putting the content front and centre.
