Stakkr is a Docker recompose tool that uses docker compose to easily create / maintain a stack of services, for example for web development.
Via a configuration file you can setup the required services and let stakkr link and start everything for you. Stakkr therefore helps you, via a very simple configuration file and a predefined list of services (that can be extended with aliases and custom services) to build a complete environment. It makes using Docker easy.
Stakkr works only in CLI and it’s an alternative to Vagrant.
It’s highly configurable and each service mounts a volume to have a persistence of data. You can even, if you want, add more directives on some services (change the php.ini for example and choose your versions (PHP 5.6 or 7.1 or 7.3 or anything else).
This is free and open source software.
