# stack

simple bash script for compose file container management (updating, starting, adding containers to control)

this is meant to be used on servers, not development container workflows.

## usage:

make a stack.conf in your home folder that contains just this. (ie /home/user/stack.conf)

**replace user with your user's name.**

```
STACK_HOME=/home/user
```

then, copy ``stack`` to somewhere in your user's path. ``chmod +x`` it.

after, containers with compose file can be added for mass control with your shell.

``stack add FOLDERNAME`` will add ``/home/user/FOLDERNAME`` to your stack.conf. this also applies for folders in nested paths.

you can also add your current folder. let's say you're in /home/user/pizza. you got a compose.yml there. you add it to stack with ``stack add .``.

depending on shell, you can add folders to stack.conf in bulk.

for zsh: ``stack add {beep,boop}``.

after, your stack.conf will look like:
```
STACK_HOME=/home/user
/home/user/FOLDERNAME
/home/user/pizza
/home/user/beep
/home/user/boop
```

now that you got a stack, you can easily start your stack.

``stack start`` will bring those four containers up.

let's say you wanna keep them updated.

``stack update`` will pull their latest images and restart them.
