Awesome-compose as an apt package

[kouul]

It would be good to have awesome-compose as a package that is easy to install for everyone.

For instance, if I want to install it I could just use:

$ apt-get install awesome-compose or awesome-docker-compose

don't mind the name, I am just suggesting name that could go along.

And, if I want to use it(I will take flask as an example here), I could use:

$ awesome-compose flask -- with nginx: I would simply add argument like -nx -- with mongo: I would simply add -mg

So when I run awesome-compose flask -nx -mg, this would result in creation of the folder 'nginx-flask-mongo' that is in this repo.

Is this do-able? What are your thoughts?

I think apt is harder to install for most people, as it only works on Debian/Ubuntu, while https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose.git works for anyone on any platform. You could have a CLI to run it but these are samples and designed to be run with Docker Compose.

What exactly is there to install? There's no binaries here. If anything, each "folder" would be more appropriate as a submodule for anyone to clone/download individually.

This is a model similar to Spring Initializr

Hi all! We're going to close this issue due to inactivity and that it is not on our roadmap. There are a variety of ways to consume the project today, minimizing the need for an apt package.

If you have further ideas for enhancements, feel free to open a new issue. Thanks!
