Takeout is a CLI tool for spinning up tiny Docker containers, one for each of your development environment dependencies.

It's meant to be paired with a tool like [Laravel Valet](https://laravel.com/docs/valet). It's currently compatible with macOS, Linux, Windows 10 and WSL2.

With `takeout enable mysql` you're running MySQL, and never have to worry about managing or fixing Homebrew MySQL again.

But you can also easily enable ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Mongo, Redis, and more, with a simple command. For a current list of services, look at the classes available in this directory: https://github.com/tighten/takeout/tree/main/app/Services

## Requirements

- macOS, Linux, Windows 10 or WSL2
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) installed
- Docker installed (macOS: [Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/), Windows: [Docker for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/))

## Installation

Install Takeout with Composer by running:

```bash
composer global require "tightenco/takeout:~2.8"
```

Make sure the `~/.composer/vendor/bin` directory is in your system's "PATH".

## Usage

Run `takeout` and then a command name from anywhere in your terminal.

One of Takeout's primary benefits is that it boots ("enables") or deletes ("disables") Docker containers for your various dependencies quickly and easily.

Because Docker offers persistent volume storage, deleting a container (which we call "disabling" it) doesn't actually delete its data. That means you can enable and disable services with reckless abandon.

### Enable a service

Show a list of all services you can enable.

```bash
takeout enable
```

### Enable specific services

Passed the short name of one or more services, enable them.

```bash
takeout enable mysql

takeout enable redis meilisearch
```

### Enable services with default parameters

If you want to skip over being asked for each parameter and just accept the defaults. This also works with multiple services in one command.

```bash
takeout enable mysql --default

takeout enable redis meilisearch --default
```

#### Passthrough Container Arguments

You may specify extra arguments to the container after a `--` sepatator:

```bash
takeout enable mysql -- -hsome.mysql.host -usome-user
```

Notice that these are arguments for the container Entrypoint, not extra docker run options (see below).

#### Extra `docker run` Options

Under the hood, the `takeout enable` command generates a `docker run` command. Sometimes you may want to specify extra options to the `docker run` command such as an extra environment variable or an extra volume mapping. You can pass a string with all the extra `docker run` options using the `--run=` option:

```bash
takeout enable mysql --run="{docker-run-options}"
```

Which would generate the following command:

```bash
docker run {docker-run-options} {service-options} mysql/mysql-server
```

Where `{docker-run-options}` are the options you specify inside the `--run` option and `{service-options}` are generated based on the default options for that service.

#### Mixing `docker run` Options With Container Arguments

You may mix and match the `run` options with the container arguments:

```bash
takeout enable mysql --run="{docker-run-options}" -- -hsome.mysql.host -usome-user
```

### Disable a service

Show a list of all enabled services you can disable.

```bash
takeout disable
```

### Disable specific services

Passed the short name of one or more services, disable the enabled services that match them most closely.

```bash
takeout disable mysql

takeout disable redis meilisearch
```

### Disable all services

```bash
takeout disable --all
```

### Start a stopped container

Show a list of all stopped containers you can start.

```bash
takeout start
```

### Start specific stopped containers

Passed the container ID of one or more stopped containers, start the stopped containers that matches them.

```bash
takeout start {container_id}

takeout start {container_id1} {container_id2}
```

### Start all containers

You may pass the `-all` flag to start all enabled containers.

```bash
takeout start --all
```

### Stop a running container

Show a list of all running containers you can stop.

```bash
takeout stop
```

### Stop specific running containers

Passed the container ID of one or more running containers, stop the running containers that matches them.

```bash
takeout stop {container_id}

takeout stop {container_id1} {container_id2}
```

### Get a shell inside any Takeout container

To get a shell inside any container that is started with Takeout, you may run:

```bash
takeout shell {service}
```

Here are some examples:

```bash
takeout shell mysql
takeout shell neo4j
takeout shell pgvector
```

This will open a shell inside the running container for the service you provide. Takeout will start either a `bash` or a `sh` process inside the container, depending on what the container supports.

## Running multiple versions of a dependency

Another of Takeout's benefits is that it allows you to have multiple versions of a dependency installed and running at the same time. That means, for example, that you can run both MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 at the same time, on different ports.

Run `takeout enable mysql` twice; the first time, you'll want to choose the default port (`3306`) and the first version (`5.7`), and the second time, you'll want to choose a second port (`3307`), the second version (`8.0`) and a different volume name (so that they don't share the same `mysql_data`).

Now, if you run `takeout list`, you'll see both services running at the same time.

```bash
+--------------+----------------+---------------+-----------------------------------+
| CONTAINER ID | NAMES | STATUS | PORTS |
+--------------+----------------+---------------+-----------------------------------+
| 4bf3379ab2f5 | TO--mysql--5.7 | Up 2 seconds | 33060/tcp, 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp |
| 983acf46ceef | TO--mysql--8.0 | Up 35 seconds | 33060/tcp, 0.0.0.0:3307->3306/tcp |
+--------------+----------------+---------------+-----------------------------------+
```

## Network Details

Takeout containers are automatically added to a Docker network named `takeout`. This allows you to use the same aliasing and base aliasing that is used for the other containers.

Each container is given two aliases on this network:

- A base_alias based on the core dependency name (e.g. mysql, postgres)
- A full_alias combining the base alias and version (e.g. mysql8.0, postgres13)

Other containers on the takeout network can access Takeout containers by their aliases. [Check this article on how you can use sail and takeout together](https://mattstauffer.com/blog/how-to-use-takeout-to-add-new-services-to-laravel-sail-and-save-ram/)

## FAQs

Will this enable the PHP drivers for me via PECL?

Sadly, no.

If I disable a service but Takeout still shows the port as taken, how do I proceed?

First, run `lsof -i :3306` (where 3306 is the port that's unavailable.)

If you see output like this:

com.docke 936 mattstauffer 52u IPv6 0xc0d6f0b06d5c4efb 0t0 TCP localhost:mysql->localhost:62919 (FIN_WAIT_2)
TablePlus 96155 mattstauffer 16u IPv4 0xc0d6f0b0b6dccf6b 0t0 TCP localhost:62919->localhost:mysql (CLOSE_WAIT)

The solution is to just close your database GUI, and then it should be released.

Why would you use this instead of `docker-compose`?

Using `docker-compose` sets up your dependencies on a project-by-project basis, which is a perfectly fine way to do things. If it makes more sense to you to have a single copy of each of your dependencies for your entire global environment, Takeout makes more sense.

Will disabling a service permanently delete my databases?

Nope! Your data will stick around! By default almost all of our services use a "volume" to attach your data to for exactly this reason.

So, when you disable the MySQL service, for example, that volume--with all your data in it--will just sit there quietly. And when you re-enable, as long as you attach it to the same volume, all your data will still be there.

## Future plans

The best way to see our future plans is to check out the [Projects Board](https://github.com/tighten/takeout/projects/1), but here are a few plans for the future:

- Electron-based GUI
- `self-remove` command: Deletes all enabled services and then maybe self-uninstalls?
- `upgrade`: destroys the old container, brings up a new one with a newly-specified tag (prompt user for it, default `latest`) and keeps all other parameters (e.g. port, volume) exactly the same as the old one
- `pt/passthrough`: proxy commands through to docker (`./takeout pt mysql stop`)
- Deliver package in a way that's friendly to non-PHP developers (Homebrew? NPM?)
- Allow other people to extend Takeout by adding their own plugins (thanks to @angrybrad for the idea!)

## Process for release

If you're working with us and are assigned to push a release, here's the easiest process:

1. Visit the [Takeout Releases page](https://github.com/tighten/takeout/releases); figure out what your next tag will be (increase the third number if it's a patch or fix; increase the second number if it's adding features)
2. On your local machine, pull down the latest version of `main` (`git checkout main && git pull`)
3. Build for the version you're targeting (`php ./takeout app:build`)
4. Run the build once to make sure it works (`php ./builds/takeout list`)
5. Commit your build and push it up
6. [Draft a new release](https://github.com/tighten/takeout/releases/new) with both the tag version and release title of your tag (e.g. `v1.5.1`)
7. Use the "Generate release notes" button to generate release notes from the merged PRs.
8. Hit `Publish release`
9. Profit 😆
