This allows you to modify files on your host system without\nmessing up ownership/permissions, but any software you install is isolated\nwithin the container.\n\n* You want to compile a project from source, but don't want to install all the\n    build dependencies on your host system\n* You want to run tests for a project, but don't want to install all the test\n    dependencies on your system (e.g. 5 different python versions)\n\n## Quick Start\n\nDownload and run the install script\n```sh\ncurl -o install.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevearc/bluepill/master/bin/install.py \\\n  \u0026\u0026 python install.py\n```\n\nThis will create a standalone `bluepill` executable that you can install\nanywhere on your system. Run `bluepill --help` or `bluepill help \u003ccmd\u003e` for\ninformation on how to use it.\n\nHere's an example from one of my common usage patterns. This builds an image for\nthe directory with many versions of python. I can then use `tox` to run tests\nacross all those versions.\n\n```sh\nuser@host:~$ cd myproject\nuser@host:~/myproject$ bluepill build -i fkrull/multi-python\nuser@host:~/myproject$ bluepill enter\nuser@myproject:~/myproject$ tox\n```\n\n## What if I need multiple containers?\n\nIf you need multiple containers so that you can run associated services (e.g.\nredis, memcached, etc.), this goes beyond the scope of `bluepill`. This is a job\nfor [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstevearc%2Fbluepill","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstevearc%2Fbluepill","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstevearc%2Fbluepill/lists"}
