Rocking Docker with PowerShell
summary
A PowerShell module named rocker module wraps and intercepts the Docker CLI, parsing Docker's JSON output into PowerShell objects, adding tab completion and extended methods, and accepting natural PowerShell input like hash table port mapping (keys->ports, paths->volumes, others->env). Demos run interactive containers, mount volumes, and serve web requests from a PowerShell job that returns objects upstream; the tooling ties into pipescript and GitHub and demonstrably works despite minor demo hiccups.
