The original
dry
Terminal dashboard for Docker containers, images and Swarm services.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as dry.
lazydocker
A terminal dashboard for Docker and Compose, so you stop typing ps, logs and restart over and over.
lazydocker adds Compose support and Windows builds, with logs, statistics and configuration in one view and single-key restart, stop, prune and shell actions.
oxker
View and control Docker containers from a terminal interface.
oxker is an MIT-licensed terminal interface for viewing and controlling Docker containers that also runs on Windows, and it still requires access to a Docker daemon.
ctop
Watch container resource use in a terminal dashboard.
ctop focuses on watching container resource use with overview and per-container views, working with a supported container runtime rather than covering Docker images and Swarm services.
Dozzle
A self-hosted web app for watching Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes container logs and stats live.
Dozzle moves container log and stats viewing to a self-hosted web app, adds regex and SQL log search, and covers Kubernetes as well as Docker and Swarm.
