Fig

Fast, isolated development environments using Docker.

Define your app's environment with Docker so it can be reproduced anywhere:

FROM orchardup/python:2.7
ADD . /code
WORKDIR /code
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD python app.py

Define the services that make up your app so they can be run together in an isolated environment:

web:
  build: .
  links:
   - db
  ports:
   - "8000:8000"
   - "49100:22"
db:
  image: orchardup/postgresql

(No more installing Postgres on your laptop!)

Then type fig up, and Fig will start and run your entire app:

There are commands to:

• start, stop and rebuild services
• view the status of running services
• tail running services' log output
• run a one-off command on a service

Fig is a project from Orchard, a Docker hosting service. Follow us on Twitter to keep up to date with Fig and other Docker news.

Note that this only works on Mountain Lion, not Mavericks, due to a bug in PyInstaller.

Contributing to Fig

If you're looking contribute to Fig but you're new to the project or maybe even to Python, here are the steps that should get you started.

1. Fork https://github.com/orchardup/fig to your username. kvz in this example.
2. Clone your forked repository locally git clone git@github.com:kvz/fig.git.
3. Enter the local directory cd fig.
4. Set up a development environment python setup.py develop. That will install the dependencies and set up a symlink from your fig executable to the checkout of the repo. So from any of your fig projects, fig now refers to your development project. Time to start hacking : )
5. Works for you? Run the test suite via ./scripts/test to verify it won't break other usecases.
6. All good? Commit and push to GitHub, and submit a pull request.
