Essex - Boilerplate for Docker Based Projects

About

Project is still under active development and may not work as expected.
Pull requests always welcome

Essex is a CLI utility written in bash to quickly setup consistent and clean Docker projects.

Goals

This tool is intended to just lay down a starting point for each project. It will still require you to modify the Dockerfile and settings by hand just as you would any other Docker based project.

\curl -sSL  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utensils/essex/master/install.sh | bash -s

This will install essex into ~/.essex.
