What is Silo used for?

Silo is used to create and manage isolated local development environments, specifically handling the sequencing of k3d clusters and Tilt projects to prevent resource conflicts.

How does Silo handle port conflicts between environments?

Silo manages port allocation through its configuration and supports *.localhost hostnames to ensure browser and service isolation between different project instances.

How do I switch between different development profiles?

You can list available profiles using 'silo profiles' and switch using 'silo up --profile [name]', typically requiring the --force flag if an active environment is already running.

Can I manually edit the .silo.lock file?

No, it is recommended to let Silo manage the lockfile automatically by running commands like 'silo up' or 'silo down --clean' to ensure environment consistency.

部署与 DevOps

Orchestrates isolated local development environments using k3d and Tilt to ensure seamless instance management and port isolation.

关于

Silo is a specialized tool for developers working with containerized local environments, specifically focusing on solving instance isolation and k3d bootstrap sequencing for Tilt-based projects. It manages complex local setups by using a silo.toml configuration to handle profile switching, port allocation, and browser isolation via custom hostnames. This skill enables Claude to efficiently manage the lifecycle of these environments, including cluster creation, service orchestration, and troubleshooting using Silo's built-in documentation and command-line interface.
