Bravetools provides a simple and consistent interface to declare, build, and deploy system containers.
- Build, version control, and share reproducible application and environment images.
- Compose multi-container systems in a simple and declarative way.
- Deploy your systems locally or remotely.
The steps to build and deploy an image are configured using a Bravefile.
View sample Bravefiles on GitHub to explore common use cases.
Build new images or layer existing ones using brave build
Resulting image can be stored locally or remotely
System containers can be deployed to a variety of environments with brave deploy, including local development machines, test environments, and remote production systems.
Manage images with multiple versions and architectures
Systems with multiple units can be declared in a brave compose file.
Build and deploy the system defined in a compose file with the brave compose command.
