Show HN: Kappal – CLI to Run Docker Compose YML on Kubernetes for Local Dev

This is a personal project that im open-sourcing. Its one of those projects-that-should-exist-but-nobody-wants-to-kill-their-business.

It takes ur standard docker compose file and runs it transparently in kubernetes (k3s actually). So ur devs don't have cognitive dissonance between testing ur stack locally on ur laptop and making it work on kubernetes in production.

It is primarily meant as a dev tool on ur laptop, and as a replacement for docker compose.

osigurdson•4h ago
I've just moved on from docker compose. Instead I have a K8s like yaml file and use podman kube play. The learning curve is pretty small in my opinion and at least it is a little closer to production.
sandGorgon•55m ago
fair. however, i do genuinely find docker compose yml and dev-experience to be much more pleasant and intuitive.

if you ever wanna try it again - use kappal. you will get a full k8s but with the UX of docker compose.

Looks promising and really interesting to see and it's a very good idea. But when I saw the test folder however, it is completely empty. [0]

So is any of this tested?

sandGorgon•53m ago
the test folder is for a large real project that i test on (and actually use in real life myself). it has a deliberate gitignore. plenty of tests in https://github.com/sandys/kappal/tree/main/testdata and https://github.com/sandys/kappal/tree/main/scripts

Could I use this for running the same docker compose stack multiple times in parallel? I wrote a lot of bash glue code to make this happen (without kubernetes) for integration and acceptance testing on a single server. Managing envs and networking was a pain, but mostly, I struggle to keep it up to date with infrastructure changes in my platform.

Have you tried Tilt? https://tilt.dev/
nkmnz•46m ago
No, I haven't. Can you elaborate how you think it could help me? Couldn't figure it out from reading the docs, tbh.
mlnj•16m ago
I love Tilt.

With a single Tilt file combined with a docker compose file, almost all of the infrastructure you need is configured on a local machine. It also supports running kubernetes (most of the docs are around this), but you do not necessarily need to it it.My goto when I have more then 2 docker containers/services I want to keep changing code for. Some teams I work with usually have 20 such containers for local dev.

And yes, you can even nest Tilt files and even write normal python if you want to mix things up.

sandGorgon•56m ago
yes. fixing this right now. you will have it in a day or two.
nkmnz•46m ago
Would certainly try this out!
