Dkr is a command line (CLI) tool that is a drop-in replacement for docker and docker-compose tools.

Let's say docker CLI interface doesn't provide the best user experience in the world. There are many things to remember, and many traps. Especially for occasional users like me.

This tool adds some handy shortcuts, like for example, instead of writing docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /bin/sh you can write dkr sh CONTAINER_NAME. Quick, right?

By default, it routes all commands directly to docker cli. For example dkr network ls would directly call docker network ls in your command line.

For convenience it also calls docker-compose when explicitly told by calling dkr c ....

If you write this: dkr i dont know what Im doing it will evaluate to docker i dont know what Im doing.

If dkr recognizes known aliases, it would act accordingly as shown in the dkr sh CONTAINER_NAME example.

Enters CONTAINER_NAME sh shell.

dkr sh CONTAINER_NAME

Alias to

docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /bin/sh

Enters CONTAINER_NAME bash shell.

dkr bash CONTAINER_NAME

Alias to

docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /bin/bash

Kills all running containers.

dkr killall

Kills all running containers, removes containers with their images and volumes.

dkr cleanup

Removes everything. Alias to dkr cleanup and docker system prune --volumes -f. You may ask here, how come we need to remove running containers, images and volumes first, to properly cleanup the environment with docker system prune?

Well, maintainer of this software doesn't know why, but apparently calling docker system prune --volumes when all containers are killed, still leaves some leftovers in the system.

Which brings us to the primary motto of this tool.

dkr nuke

This software is not ready for usage. It's an early stage. Please wait until 1.0.0.

First, add ohdkr tap

brew tap ohdkr/homebrew-dkr-osx

Then, install dkr

brew install dkr
