An application manager written in go to handle starting/restarting/stopping of applications in a docker container, listening to a queue for commands.

In your project utilizing the docker container, you must provide a config file called .appman.config.json. You can see an example file here.

In the configuration file you must provide the queue and the application you are managing. Optionally, you may also provide the commands that the app uses, in case the standard start, stop, restart, and reload aren't what is meant to be used. Optionally, you may also choose whether stopping should just send a kill command to the process.

• app_path: The full path to the application is necessary.
• queue: AppMan supports RabbitMQ or Redis for reading messages off the queue.
  • Redis: -Messages must have this format:
    • Key: appman:<name>
    • Value: <command>
    • Example: appman:application => stop
  • RabbitMQ:
