DockAPT

A magical fusion of docker and apt for Humans™

WHY

1. apt is intrinsically designed to break your system
2. docker solves 1
3. but, docker is designed for hackers, not end user

INSTALL

$ pip3 install dockapt $ dockapt install self

what does this do?

• checks if docker is installed
• creates the ~/.dockapt directory
• git clone this for a (fairly large) collection of Dockerfiles
• adds an alias file to your your ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc

HOW-TO

If you know apt, you know dockapt, mostly.

• ✨

  • $ dockapt search foobar
  • $ dockapt install foobar
  • $ foobar
  • $ dockapt remove foobar

• ✨

  • $ dockapt list
  • $ dockapt update
  • $ dockapt upgrade

• ✨

  • $ dockapt-repo add https://github.com/foo/bar.git
  • $ dockapt-repo remove https://github.com/foo/bar.git
  • $ dockapt-repo list

HOW

• recursively searches ~/.dockapt/repositories/ for all Dockerfile(s)
• builds the corresponding Dockerfile when you run dockapt install
  • (I am currently looking into integration with docker registry so you can just pull pre-built images)
• adds an alias for the docker run ... command (from Dockerfile comments)

Screenshots

Its a WIP, but this is what it can do as of now.
