A (joke?) one-liner I came up with while thinking about solutions to centralized container management across multiple SSH hosts. Shame on me.

The name is inspired by bocker [0], albeit this doesn't re-implement docker-compose in bash, I found it to be fitting enough.

I'd love to see someone come up with a smarter and/or shorter way to do this.

Do you have any example use cases for multi host docker?

[satoqz → ttymck]

Managing a selfhosting setup, homelab, distributed database deployment... anything that is simple enough not to need Kubernetes et al. yet needs containers running on multiple machines in coordination. While that's not hard to do, the idea here is to unify the configuration and the deployment process for each host into one.
