Overmind, a better foreman or bin/dev for your Procfile
- hbroadbent 3y agoI recently wrote about Overmind (https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind), a drop in replacement for foreman. If you've ever used Foreman or another local Procfile/process manager, I think you'll love Overmind. It's basically a more customisable foreman that runs in tmux - which means you can do cool things like tmux into a process and attach a debugger (which is nearly impossible with foreman). Hope you enjoy the article!

- hbroadbent 3y agoWhy confused? Overmind basically does the same thing as Foreman - runs processes from your Procfile. So maybe you have a web: and worker: process - Overmind will run them for you. The difference between Overmind and foreman is that Overmind runs processes with tmux, which makes it a lot easier to interact with them. Plus there's lots of extra config that foreman doesn't have.
