Bowler

Bowler manages Foreman process dependencies for large applications.

Bowler wraps the foreman start command with bowl <processes>, calculates the dependencies required, and automatically enables and disables the relevant processes in Foreman.

Installation

Install from the command line:

gem install bowler

Usage

Bowler reads from a Pinfile to find your process dependencies. Declaring dependencies is easy:

process :app => [:database, :tiles]
process :api => :database

You can specify a global dependency too.

dependency :database

process :app => :tiles
process :api

To run a process, use the bowl executable:

bowl app

You can run multiple processes at once:

bowl app api
