Stax is a CLI tool for creating and managing containers. Primarily for development purposes but can also be used for self hosting containers.

Configuration

Stax uses a Staxfile to define your containers. It's basically a docker compose file with some extra features like importing from other yaml files.

Example:

!import ../imports/rails.yaml as rails

!extends rails

stax: !extends rails.stax
  source: git@github.com:me/my-rails-app.git
  requires:
    - caddy
    - mysql
  after_setup: ./bin/setup

Example Commands

• stax setup: Install an application.
• stax ls: Lists all applications
• stax sh <name>: Opens a shell into the primary container of an application
• stax edit <name>: Opens an application in VS Code based editor
• stax down <name>: Stops an application
• stax remove <name>: Removes an application
• stax help: Shows help
