Configure, run and switch between projects with a very simple command line interface.\n- **Flexibility**. Manage, scale, maintain projects of any complexity with ease.\n- **Configure Once, Use Everywhere**. Configure project once so the rest of your team will feel the value of zero configuration.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Docker, Kubernetes, Helm in one place** — Compose projects, kubectl context/namespace, Helm repos and releases.\n- **Git, SVN** support out of the box.\n- **Project Catalog, Multiple Catalogues**. Create your own project catalog. Organise your projects without additional tools.\n- **Multiple Plans**. Create multiple plans for different environments or even environments for demo purposes. Switch between plans (environments) with ease.\n- **Simple Config Files**. Poco helps to split config files, so it is easy to maintain and scale them any time.\n- **Script Support (Hooks)**. Add additional scripts any time.\n\n## Global options\n\n- `-i`, `--interactive` — Interactive menu: choose actions step by step without typing commands (`poco -i`).\n- `-V`, `--verbose` — Print more (e.g. merged docker compose config for `up`/`down`).\n- `-VV` or `--no-matrix` — No matrix effect, show full output (for `up`/`down`). Implies verbose.\n- `-q`, `--quiet` — Print less.\n- `--offline` — Offline mode.\n- `--always-update` — Project repository handle by user.\n\nFor `poco up` / `poco down`, a matrix-style effect runs by default; only the final result is shown. Set `POCO_MATRIX=0` to disable the effect, or use `-VV` / `--no-matrix` to disable it and see the full log.\n\n## Documentation\n\nAll documentation is available on [getpoco.io](https://getpoco.io/)\n\n- [Documentation](https://getpoco.io/documentation/)\n- [Install](https://getpoco.io/documentation/install/)\n- [Tutorials](https://getpoco.io/tutorials/hello-world/)\n- [Github, Gitlab Integration](https://getpoco.io/documentation/third-party-integrations/)\n\n## Requirements\n\n- **Python 3.12.3** or newer (supported version: **3.14.3**)\n- Git or SVN\n- SSH\n- Docker (17.0.0 or higher version is recommended)\n- Docker Compose V2 (plugin: `docker compose`), for compose support\n- kubectl, for Kubernetes support\n- helm, for helm functionality support\n\n## Quick start\n\nInstall `poco`:\n\n```\n$:~ pip install poco\n```\n\n**Or use the install script (curl one-liner):**\n\n```bash\nbash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shiwaforce/poco/master/install.sh)\"\n```\n\n**Install script options:**\n\n| Option | Description |\n|--------|-------------|\n| **Full reset** | Remove previous install, then install fresh: `bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shiwaforce/poco/master/install.sh)\" -- --reset` |\n| **Self-update** | Update the install script itself: `bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shiwaforce/poco/master/install.sh)\" -- --update` |\n| **Dev branch** | Install from `dev` branch: `bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shiwaforce/poco/master/install.sh)\" -- dev` |\n\nInit project:\n\n```\n$:~ mkdir my-project\n$:~ cd my-project\n$:~ poco init\n```\n\n`poco.yml` and `docker-compose.yml` example files will be created.\n\nStart project:\n\n```\n$:~ poco up\n```\n\nBefore adding your project to Poco Repo create new empty git repository,\nadd repository to your local Poco Repo config:\n\n```\n$:~ poco repo add \u003cname\u003e \u003cgit-url\u003e\n```\n\nNow you can add your project to repo:\n\n```\n$:~ poco project add [\u003ctarget-dir\u003e] [\u003ccatalog\u003e]\n```\n\nPublish your changes:\n\n```\n$:~ poco repo push\n```\n\nStop your project:\n\n```\n$:~ poco stop\n```\n\n## One CLI: Docker, kubectl, Helm\n\n| Stack    | Poco commands | What you get |\n|----------|----------------|--------------|\n| **Docker** | `poco up`, `poco down`, `poco ps`, `poco config`, … | Compose projects from a YAML catalog; matrix-style run; verbose merged config. |\n| **Kubernetes** | `poco kubectx`, `poco kubens` | List/switch context and namespace (kubectx/kubens-style). |\n| **Helm** | `poco helm-repos`, `poco helm-list` | List repos and releases; `helm-list --all-namespaces` for all. |\n\nRequires Docker and/or `kubectl`/`helm` installed. Poco checks availability and works with different kubectl/helm versions.\n\n### Presets (workflow)\n\nSave and switch context + namespace in one step:\n\n- `poco preset list` — List saved presets.\n- `poco preset use \u003cname\u003e` — Switch to a preset (context and namespace).\n- `poco preset save \u003cname\u003e` — Save current context and namespace as a preset.\n\nPresets are stored in `~/.poco/presets.yml`.\n\n### Kube-get\n\nShortcut for common `kubectl get` usage:\n\n- `poco kube-get \u003cresource\u003e [name]` — e.g. `poco kube-get pods`, `poco kube-get ns`, `poco kube-get svc`.\n- Use `-n \u003cnamespace\u003e` or `-A` (all namespaces) when needed.\n\n### Interactive mode (`-i` / `--choose`)\n\nWhen a command can show a list, use `-i` to pick from a menu (or fzf if installed):\n\n- `poco kubectx -i` — Choose context from list.\n- `poco kubens -i` — Choose namespace from list.\n- `poco preset use -i` — Choose preset from list.\n- `poco helm-list -i` — Choose release, then show `helm status`.\n\n## Security\n\n- **Dependencies:** We track known vulnerabilities and bump affected packages (e.g. GitPython ≥3.1.41 for CVE fixes). To audit your install: `pip install pip-audit \u0026\u0026 pip-audit` (or `pip-audit -r requirements.txt`).\n- **Build tools:** Keep setuptools and wheel up to date: `pip install -U setuptools wheel` to address CVEs in the toolchain.\n\n## Agent Skills\n\nUse Poco with AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.): install [Agent Skills](https://claude.com/blog/equipping-agents-for-the-real-world-with-agent-skills) so the agent knows when and how to run poco. Add the **poco-skills** repo as a Remote Rule: **Settings \u003e Rules \u003e Add Rule \u003e Remote Rule (Github)** with `shiwaforce/poco-skills`. Optionally, run `poco init --with-cursor-skill` in a project to generate a project-specific skill (`.cursor/skills/poco-project/SKILL.md`).\n\n## Changelog\n\nSee [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for release history. **1.0** — Docker + Kubernetes + Helm in one CLI; presets; kube-get; interactive menu (`poco -i`); `poco status`; matrix effect; before_docker_script; security (GitPython, pip-audit).\n\n## Licence\n\n[MIT](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)\nCopyright (c) 2017-present, [Shiwaforce.com](https://www.shiwaforce.com/en/)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Container Operations","Python","python"],"sub_categories":["User Interface"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshiwaforce%2Fpoco","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fshiwaforce%2Fpoco","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshiwaforce%2Fpoco/lists"}
