dcmv

A CLI utility to update .env references to other containers when moving containers inside/outside docker.

dcmv is short for docker-compose move. dcmv is useful in case you need to run certain containers outside docker for faster debugging or for tooling reasons.

Usage

Run it in the directory which has your docker-compose file.

When running service named service1 outside Docker, run:

dcmv --out --s service1

When running a service named service2 inside Docker, which was initially being run from outside, run:

dcmv --in --s service2
