Crane

Lift containers with ease

Overview

Crane is a Docker orchestration tool similar to Docker Compose with extra features. It works by reading in some configuration (JSON or YAML) which describes how to obtain images and how to run containers. Crane is ideally suited for setting up a development environment or continuous integration.

There's a free version for Linux and a pro version for macOS which offers ultra-fast bind-mounts via Unison!
