portmgr 1.6.4

Simple command interface to manage multiple Docker container

portmgr

portmgr is a wrapper around docker-compose that allows running typical docker-compose commands recursively. Additionally, it shortens commands to a single letter.

Let's say you have organized your compose files like this, you just add a dckrsub.yml in each parent folder:

docker/
├── dckrsub.yml
├── reverse-proxy/
│   └── docker-compose.yml
├── storage
│   ├── dckrsub.yml
│   ├── nextcloud/
│   │   └── docker-compose.yml
│   └── immich/
│       └── docker-compose.yml
└── scripts

Each dckrsub.yml has a list of subdirectories, which portmgr should decend into. For example, the dckrsub.yml in docker/ might look like this:

- reverse-proxy
- storage

And the dckrsub.yml in docker/storage/ like this:

- nextcloud
- immich

Now, if you run portmgr u in docker/ it will run docker compose up -d in reverse-proxy/, storage/nextcloud/ and storage/immich/.

portmgr starts from the current directory, so when running it in docker/storage/, it will run docker compose only in nextcloud/ and immich/. You can also use it in a directory with a docker-compose.yml as a shortener for docker-compose commands.

Commands

The following commands are available. The respective docker-compose commands are in brackets.

  u   Create and start containers (up)
  p   Pull images (pull)
  s   Stop services (stop)
  d   Stop and remove containers (down)
  l   Show container logs (logs)
  a   Run shell in container (exec -it <service> sh)
  b   Build images (build)
  c   List containers (ps)
  t   List processes in containers (top)
  r   Build and push to registry (build, push)
  v   Scan container images for vulnerabilities

You combine multiple commands. For example portmgr dul, runs docker compose with down, up and logs, thus stopping, removing and starting all containers and then showing the logs.

Installation

sudo pip install portmgr

Or build it from source (here using the latest commit on master branch)

sudo pip install https://github.com/Craeckie/portmgr.git

Tipps

If you use portmgr a lot like me, you might want to shorten it to one letter. For bash, you can add alias p='portmgr' to ~/.bashrc. For fish-shell you can add abbr p portmgr to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
