Docker Stack

Docker Stack is a developer-oriented project that provides:

• A powerful CLI tool (dctl): A drop-in replacement for Docker Compose, with extra features and improved usability.
• A curated collection of Docker Compose files: Ready-to-use configurations for a complete local development stack.

You can use the CLI and the compose files independently or together, depending on your needs.

---

Overview

• CLI Tool Documentation: Manage your local Docker Compose projects more easily with dctl.
• Compose Files Collection: Quickly set up a local web development stack with pre-configured services.
• Changelog: See what's new.

Why use dctl instead of docker compose?

• No need to be in your project folder.
• Uses the same commands and arguments as Docker Compose—no new learning curve.
• Manage multiple projects from anywhere in your terminal.
• Easily override default compose files and set default arguments for all commands.

With dctl, you can start, stop, restart, build, and manage multiple Docker Compose projects from anywhere, without the need for custom shell aliases. The CLI also allows you to define default arguments and override compose files per project.

---

Roadmap

• Add more documentation and examples for local development.
• Add commands to register/unregister projects using docker-compose files.
• Make default arguments optional and project-specific.
• Improve merging of default and command-line arguments.

v1

• Publish the CLI tool for multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) and architectures (x86, arm, arm64).
• Improve the check-config command.
• Add CLI examples and screenshots.

v2

• Refactor the CLI tool for better architecture and code quality.
