What does HackerNews think of foreman?

Manage Procfile-based applications

Language: Ruby

Btw, there's a large number of tools that use the Procfile file format, including what appears to be the original one, written in Ruby https://github.com/ddollar/foreman (the readme has links to a partial list of foreman clones)

But I agree that overmind is the best of the bunch

I thought it was a new version of https://github.com/ddollar/foreman
Isnt that what Foreman and its Procfile handle?

Foreman

https://github.com/ddollar/foreman

When I learned Ruby a while back. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it was the first tool I’d used in development that showed me how I develop is critically important.

It’s just a simple tool to start and stop several tools in the background, streaming the logs to all of them in one place. At the time, I’d never seen anything like that and felt like I’d been doing it wrong for years.

I’ve had good luck with foreman [0] (if you’re happy with Ruby). Create a .env file in your project root with your variable pairs and foreman makes them available inside your app. Then you just need to make sure .env is in your .gitignore and you’re happy.
