Habitat is a modern environment orchestration tool built on top of Docker and Docker Compose. Habitat provides a clean abstraction over Docker enabling you to quickly initialize and deploy production applications without worrying about writing and optimizing dockerfiles.
You can initialize a new project by running the following command. This installs habitat in your project and generates a dockerfile for each project found in the workspace, a docker-compose.yml and a docker-compose.dev.yml are also created for adding services and running the application in development mode. Once the local copy of habitat is installed, you may use the cli via the habitat command.
npx @outwalk/habitat init
Habitat provides commands to build and run your application for development and production.
The build and start commands both accept a --dev flag.
# build the application for production
npx habitat build
# start the application for production
npx habitat start
# start the application for development
npx habitat start --dev
For more information on commands, run npx habitat --help.
If you are having trouble getting something to work with Habitat or run into any problems, you can create a new issue.
