Hey Dev.to community!

I'm excited to share CurlDock, a lightweight open-source tool I've been working on to simplify API testing and curl script management.

What is CurlDock?

CurlDock combines the power of curl with the convenience of Docker, offering a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and executing curl commands. Built with Rust and React, it's designed for simplicity and ease of use.

Key Features

• 🐳 Dockerized: Easy setup and consistent environments
• 🖥️ User-Friendly Interface: Similar to Postman or Insomnia
• 📁 Git-Friendly: Store scripts as .sh files for easy version control
• 🔒 Network Isolation: Access endpoints within your Docker network

Quick Start

Getting started with CurlDock is as easy as running a Docker command:

docker run --name curldock --rm -e SCRIPTSFOLDER="/scripts" -v $(pwd)/scripts:/scripts -e PORT="2080" -p 2080:2080 inigoetxaniz/curldock

Then, just open http://localhost:2080 in your browser!

Why CurlDock?

• Simplicity: Focus on core functionality without unnecessary complexity
• Local-First: Designed for local development environments
• No Authentication: Reduced complexity for improved usability
• Developer Control: You manage your own security measures

Try It Out!

I'd love for you to give CurlDock a spin and share your thoughts.

Happy API testing! 🚀
