A unified CLI tool to manage Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Helm projects using simple YAML configs and a project catalog.
Poco is a command-line interface that unifies the management of Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Helm projects. It allows developers to catalog, configure, and run containerized applications using simple YAML files, reducing the complexity of switching between different orchestration tools and environments. The tool streamlines workflows by integrating common operations like starting Docker projects, changing Kubernetes contexts, and listing Helm releases into a single CLI.
Developers and DevOps engineers who regularly work with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm and want a consolidated tool to manage these technologies without context switching. Teams looking to standardize project onboarding and environment management across local development setups.
Poco eliminates the need to remember and juggle multiple CLIs (docker-compose, kubectl, helm) by providing a unified interface with features like project catalogs, interactive menus, and environment presets. Its YAML-driven configuration promotes reusability and simplifies sharing project setups across teams.
Poco will help you to organise and manage Docker, Docker-Compose, Kubernetes, Openshift projects of any complexity using simple YAML config files to shorten the route from finding your project to initialising it in your local environment.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Poco consolidates commands for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Helm into a single interface, reducing context switching and command memorization, as shown in its comprehensive command table and interactive features.
Offers interactive menus with the -i flag and fzf integration, along with Kubernetes presets, making it easy to navigate and switch between environments without manual typing, enhancing usability.
Uses simple YAML files for project catalogs and plans, supporting splitting and scaling, which simplifies maintenance and team collaboration, as highlighted in the features section.
Integrates with Git and SVN out of the box, allowing seamless project addition and management directly from the CLI, facilitating workflow automation and team onboarding.
Poco requires Docker, kubectl, and Helm to be installed and configured separately, adding setup complexity and potential version compatibility issues, as noted in the requirements.
It only supports Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm, omitting other tools like Podman or cloud-native services, which may not cover all modern containerization use cases.
The default matrix effect for compose commands obscures detailed logs, requiring explicit flags like -VV for full visibility, which can hinder debugging and monitoring.
