Meet Baker! -- a simple tool for provisioning virtual machines and containers. With Baker you can quickly create development environments and run your code. With one tool, you have the functionality of vagrant, docker, ansible, and task runners like grunt.

See a running demo below:

For more details, checkout docs.getbaker.io and join our Slack.

git clone https://github.com/ottomatica/Baker
cd Baker
npm install
npm link

Also see other binary installation options.

Baker uses a configuration file (baker.yml) in the root directory of you project. This is an example of a baker.yml file. By running baker bake Baker provisions a VM with nodejs installed, and the specified ip address and port forwarding rules configured for you. You can access the VM by running baker ssh or run commands inside the VM with baker run <Command Name>. Your code is accessible in the VM via a shared folder.

---
name: baker-test
vm:
  ip: 192.168.22.22
  ports: 8000
lang:
  - nodejs9
commands:
  serve: cd /baker-test/deployment/express && npm install && node index.js

You can also point to a git repository with a baker.yml file, and and Baker will do the rest:

$ baker bake --repo https://github.com/ottomatica/baker-test.git

Baker also supports creating environments inside containers that do not require a VM.

name: baker-docs
container: 
  ports: 8000
lang:
  - python2
commands:
  build: mkdocs build
  serve: mkdocs serve -a 0.0.0.0:8000
  gh-deploy: mkdocs gh-deploy

Setting up a Java environment with MySQL can be done easily.
