Show HN: Pooshit – Sync local code to remote Docker containers

I'm a lazy developer for the most part, so this is for people like me. Sometimes I just want my local code running in live remote containers quickly, without building images and syncing to cloud docker repos or setting up git workflows or any of the other draining ways to get your code running remotely.

With pooshit (and a simple config file), you can simply push your local dev files to a remote folder on a VM then automatically remove relevant running containers, then build and run an updated container with one command line call.

It works well with reverse proxies like nginx or caddy as you can specify the docker run arguments in the pooshit_config files.

It uploads your whole local docker context, source code and all, builds the image on the remote server and up's the container(s) all with a single command. I use this all the time when deploying simple services to avoid all of the complexity of registries etc.
