port manager for developing multiple local web apps
Project description
(port lookup table)
If you’re simultaneously developing multiple web apps on localhost, which happens increasingly often in the age of microservices, it’s annoying to remember which app is on which port. So plut does it for you.
To install, run pip install plut, then run:
echo source ~/.plutrc >> ~/.bashrc
Usage
The point of plut is to remember what app is running where. The basic mechanism used by plut is to map names to ports.
To get the port corresponding to a name, run:
import plut port = plut.port('myservice') # returns an int
plut saves this inside ~/.plutrc (which you told your bashrc to source from earlier). The next time you run plut.port, it’ll check if a port already exists and if so, give you that instead.
You can also do this from the command-line:
plut # lists all services plut rm <name> # remove a service plut <name> # get the port of a service
