aka.localhost

Docker Compose

Give every published Compose service a .localhost URL.

aka compose                         # docker compose up, plus a URL per published service
aka compose -f dev.yml up --build   # arguments go to docker compose
aka compose up -d                   # containers in the background; aka routes until Ctrl+C

Every running service with a published TCP port gets <service>.<project>.localhost, for example web.shop.localhost for the published port of web in the shop project. With several published ports, the first that answers HTTP is used.

Routes follow services as they start and stop. With -d, the containers keep running after aka exits, and only the routes go away.

Several apps

Run every app of a project together with aka.toml and aka up.

Aliases and list

Route a name to a port aka did not start, and list what is running.
