Hello there crafters!
I’d like to share with you a simple ‘proto/initial/do-not-use/not-ready’ container management addition I made into emacs-solo.
No need to use emacs-solo though, as this is ready to copy/paste into your config:
This is not meant to be a full replacement to docker.el which is what I recommend anyone doing serious business to, but a ‘crafted with blood’ alternative to casual management from Emacs.
Happy hacking!
Podman good. I pretty much only use it for Postgres containers, but I have an open need to do a bit of orchestration and it’s still unclear if I want to build on Kind (which uses podman) or bare containers, which must be built.
Each container is fully specified via Nix flakes, so I can potentially make a centralization of all the containers to roll our own local-testing tools. That might actually make better sense. I need to play with our cargo patching and be sure cranelift can handle the indirection of working on our shared crate together with services that depend on it.
In the end, every monorepo struggles to coordinate the independence while every multi repo struggles to integrate.
Too much to think about. Anyway, good luck with this package.
