This repository contains the CLI for [Blimp](https://kelda.io/blimp).

Blimp lets you develop in the cloud, reducing CPU and RAM usage on your laptop.

It supports the same

[configuration](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file) and

[workflows](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/local-development-with-docker-compose)

as [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).

This repository is also used for issue tracking and feature requests.

## How it Works

* The containers run in a remote Kubernetes cluster. [compose-go](https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-go) parses

  compose files into a standard format, which is then deployed by the Blimp

  Cloud.

* [Localhost network tunnels](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#ports) are implemented over [gRPC streams](https://github.com/kelda/blimp/blob/master/_proto/blimp/node/v0/controller.proto#L10).

* [Bind volumes](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#volumes) are

  implemented with [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/). The Syncthing

  connection is also tunnelled over the gRPC stream.

## Installation

`blimp` has been tested on Mac, Linux, and Windows WSL.

```shell

curl -fsSL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kelda/blimp/master/scripts/install.sh' | sh

```

## Example

```

# Download the example.

git clone https://github.com/kelda/node-todo

cd node-todo

# Pick a username.

mkdir -p ~/.blimp && echo 'username: your_user' > ~/.blimp/auth.yaml

# Boot the docker-compose.yml.

blimp up

# You can now interact with your containers as if they were running locally.

# Edit files.

vim app/routes.js

# Access the app.

curl localhost:8080

```

## Documentation

* [Design principles](https://kelda.io/blimp/docs/#/home?id=design-principles) (be

  light, require zero setup, and require zero workflow changes)

* [Release notes](https://kelda.io/blimp/docs/release-notes/) for past Blimp versions.

* [Basic usage analytics](https://kelda.io/blimp/docs/#/security?id=what-analytics-does-the-blimp-cli-collect)

  are collected by default ([you can opt out](https://kelda.io/blimp/docs/#/security?id=what-analytics-does-the-blimp-cli-collect)).

* [The Kelda Slack](https://slack.kelda.io) is the best way to reach the maintainers.
