Dockly
A Ruby gem providing a DSL to build and package Docker images into deployable artifacts like Debian packages.
What is Dockly?
Dockly is a Ruby gem that simplifies packaging applications into production-ready Docker images and deployable system packages like Debian packages (deb) or RPMs. It provides a declarative domain-specific language (DSL) to define build pipelines, manage dependencies, and create consistent, automated deployment artifacts. The tool aims to reduce the complexity of application packaging by abstracting the intricacies of Docker and system packaging.
DevOps engineers and Ruby developers who need to automate and standardize the creation of Docker-based deployment packages for production environments. It is particularly suited for teams managing deployments across multiple servers or cloud instances.
Developers choose Dockly for its integrated DSL that unifies Docker image creation, build cache management, and system package generation into a single workflow. Its unique selling point is the ability to create Debian or RPM packages that bundle Docker images and optional Foreman startup scripts, ensuring reproducible and automated deployments with support for AWS S3 caching and ECR registry integration.
