What exactly is Fig?
- Goopplesoft 12y agoIt links docker containers for local dev environments. You can launch a project with say a webapp, a cache like redis, and a db like mysql with the comamnd 'fig up'. The 3 docker containers in this case are linked via a fig.yml that defines the setup. It also attaches your local development code so realtime changes propgate through the cotainer (e.g live server reloads) Getting a new dev onboarded with your whole dockerized stack involves: - pip install fig - cd into directory with fig.yml -'fig up' Really a great tool. Definitely recommend it. Good intro here: http://www.fig.sh/ http://www.fig.sh/
- general_failure 12y agoAhh.. Almost heroku style but locally. Looks super useful to me!
- skrebbel 12y agoNot just for local dev environments. You can easily deploy on a host too, works the same.
- rmgraham 12y agoI keep thinking of it as kinda like foreman/Procfile but for Docker containers instead of bare processes. And with a much richer config format.
