Tool for easily building and configuring virtual environments on top of Docker.

Main features:

• Works with multiple Docker hosts.

• easily add new derives through a simple metadata JSON object and standard Dockerfile.

• Snapshotting containers.

• Spin up the same container on multiple Docker hosts in one go.

• Configure containers at runtime, either in bulk or individually.

• Provides a way to run multiple services on the same container without having to have a Dockerfile for the combined services i.e. Redis Server and SSH.

• Provides a friendly end-user interface for running containers, as well as a straightforward way for operators to manage images, hosts, and available services.

• Services can be easily changed based on environments by changing the path to the metadata for the services.

More information coming soon, including getting started, known issues, roadmap, and more.
