Pygmy

Welcome to pygmystack

The pygmy stack is a container stack for local development.

It is a collaboration between:

• amazee.io - Initial development of pygmy, and it's predecessor, cachalot
• @fubarhouse - complete rewrite of pygmy in Golang (Thanks Karl!)
• the Lagoon team - ongoing support and maintenance

Please see github.com/pygmystack for more information

Why use pygmy?

• Starting the necessary Docker Containers for your Docker Development Environment The pygmy stack is a container stack for local development, and pygmy is the main tool.

It's built to work with:

• Docker Desktop for Mac
• Docker Desktop for Windows
• Docker Engine for Linux

Quite a lot for such a small whale 🐳)

What pygmy will handle for you:

• Starting the necessary Docker Containers for local development
• If on Linux: Adds nameserver 127.0.0.1 to your /etc/resolv.conf file, so that your local Linux can resolve *.docker.amazee.io via the dnsmasq container
• If on Mac with Docker for Mac: Creates the file /etc/resolver/docker.amazee.io which tells OS X to forward DNS requests for *.docker.amazee.io to the dnsmasq container
• Tries to add the ssh key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa to the ssh-agent container (no worries if that is the wrong key, you can add more any time)
• Starts a local mail Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) in order to test and view mails
