Dockrun: Use docker and alpine as your package manager.

On two of the main desktop computing platforms, macOS and Windows, package and dependency management is hard. Package managers either don't handle dependency management very well, or they have issues with removing unused dependencies. Many BSD or GNU/Linux distributions have solved package management a long time ago. dockrun uses Alpine GNU/Linux along with Docker to simplify package management for all platforms.

Simple package installations

Just "dockrun command" and go!

Does not reinvent the wheel

dockrun is not a new package manager, rather it provides a tiny abstraction upon Docker and Alpine in order to create a "get running quickly"-interface for running command line applications. This means that dockrun uses proven technologies with an already enourmous collection of packages at its disposal.

Simple package removal

Just "dockrm command" and remove all files and dependencies for said command. Does not clutter your OS file system.

Works on all major desktop platforms

Works on all platforms supported by Docker.
