managing-services

This Skill registers Docker services in a centralized SERVICES.md log, tracking service discovery, status updates, and port assignments across single or multi-host environments.

Port conflict detection scans running Docker containers and validates assigned ports against the registry using lsof and grep, preventing overlapping bindings when bringing services online.

Yes, docker and docker-compose are required dependencies. The management scripts also rely on Bash utilities like lsof, grep, awk, and sed to execute deterministic service checks and registry operations.

Centralized status checks read from a SERVICES.md-like log and perform simple health checks on Docker containers, tracking status transitions from initial registration through ongoing monitoring.

Yes, the Skill utilizes Bash tooling for deterministic tasks, automating service registration and port validation through scripts that read and write to a centralized registry log.

Containers fail when ports overlap. The Skill detects port conflicts by validating assignments against the registry and scanning active usage with lsof, allowing you to resolve conflicts before deployment.
