It combines a daemonized nginx proxy container, dnsmasq, and local resolver configuration so developers can reach containers by local domain names instead of IP addresses and ports. ### Project history The public FreedomBen/dory repository was created in March 2016. Its README explains that Dory wraps codekitchen/dinghy-http-proxy and makes it usable outside Dinghy, especially for teams mixing Docker for Mac and Dinghy workflows. Dory's release history spans early 0.0.x tags through 1.2.0, while the RubyGems package page lists the same current version and a substantial historical download count. GitHub metadata shows the repository still receiving updates in 2026. ### Adoption history Dory was adopted through RubyGems and Homebrew, with the README recommending Homebrew on macOS and the Ruby gem on Linux. Its adoption niche is local web application development where Docker containers need stable, memorable hostnames. ### How it is used A common workflow installs Dory, sets `VIRTUAL_HOST` on containers, and runs `dory up`. Users can generate `~/.dory.yml` with `dory config-file`, then use commands such as `dory down`, `dory restart`, `dory status`, and `dory ip` to manage the proxy services. ### Why package nerds care Dory is package-nerd interesting because it packages a local development environment convention, DNS plus reverse proxy for Docker, as a small CLI that manages external services. It also reflects the Docker Machine, Dinghy, and Docker for Mac era of local container tooling. ### Timeline - 2016: The public GitHub repository is created. - 2016: Early 0.0.x tags appear in the current repository. - 2020s: The package reaches the 1.x series. - 2026: GitHub metadata shows continued repository activity. ### Related projects - Related projects include Docker, Docker for Mac, Dinghy, dinghy-http-proxy, nginx-proxy, dnsmasq, RubyGems, and Homebrew. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
