What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of hot-reloading Docker containers during local development, eliminating the need for manual restarts after file changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Hot Reloading: Synchronizes file changes directly into running containers for frameworks with hot-reloading capabilities.
  • Rebuild on Compilation: Rebuilds the Docker image and recreates the container when source files for compiled languages or dependency manifests change.
  • Sync and Restart: Syncs files and restarts the container for configuration changes that require a full restart.
  • Use Case: Develop a web application locally using Docker Compose. As you make changes to your frontend code, the container automatically rebuilds and reloads, allowing you to see updates instantly without manual intervention.

Quick Start

Start your Docker Compose services with watch mode enabled by running the command docker compose up --watch.
