dksnap: Docker Snapshots for Dev & Test Data

Hi PH! @kklin and I found that in development, populating a database with test data is pretty annoying. And once you've done all the work to get your database container set up, it's frustrating to have to do it again. That’s why we built dksnap. It’s a tool that lets you create, view, and rollback snapshots of Docker containers in real time without needing to fiddle with bash scripts or memorize complicated docker commands. Once your database container is set up exactly the way that you like it, you can create a snapshot. This enables you to manipulate the underlying data in your container however you like, knowing that you can instantly revert back to the previous working state. Check it out on Github. It’s open source so contributions and feedback are very welcome: https://github.com/kelda/dksnap
