decking—simplified management for clusters of Docker containers

Decking aims to simplify the creation, organsation and running of clusters of Docker containers in a way which is familiar to developers; by reading information from a decking.json package file on a project by project basis.

Installation

[sudo] npm install -g decking

While the project is under development the best place to find the most up-to-date documentation is decking.io.

Latest Release: 0.4.0

• Add --as CLI option to suport arbitrary group aliases
• Add ready container parameter to signal when service has started
• Add --tag CLI option when building images
• No more copying Dockerfiles around when building images
• Fix bad image builds silently exiting leaving 'ghost' containers
• Add context image parameter to allow arbitrary build context directories
• Add --context CLI option to allow arbitrary runtime build context directories
• decking create no longer starts then stops containers (much faster)
• Add support for cpu shares container option
• Add support for memory limit container option
• Much better output for non TTY environments (e.g. CI)
• Much better error handling
• Fix crashing when containers go away while running decking attach
• Add decking destroy to remove clusters
• Fix container aliases sometimes not being set
