🐳 DockrTUI

A fast, modern and keyboard-driven terminal dashboard for Docker — built with Rust and ratatui.
Because managing containers shouldn’t feel like typing spells in Bash.

🎥 See DockrTUI in action!
Browse containers, networks & compose projects at lightning speed — all from your terminal.

🚀 Features

• Containers, Images, Networks, Volumes & Compose — all in one place
• Quick actions — start, stop, restart, inspect, prune
• Smart search and filtering
• Built-in shell inside containers (cd, history, autocomplete, etc.)
• Compose integration — detect and control your Compose projects
• Volume management — list, inspect, delete, and prune unused volumes
• Clean, efficient TUI powered by ratatui

⚡ Installation

You can install DockrTUI directly with Cargo:

cargo install dockrtui

Once installed, run it from anywhere:

dockrtui

🐧 Requires Docker CLI installed and running. Tested on Linux and WSL2.

🔌 Docker Socket Detection

DockrTUI automatically detects which Docker socket to use:

Priority:

1. DOCKER_HOST environment variable (same as Docker CLI)

2. Rootless Docker socket: /run/user/$UID/docker.sock

3. Classic rootful Docker socket: docker.sock

This means DockrTUI works out-of-the-box with:

• Docker Desktop

• Docker rootless mode

• Podman (via Docker API compatibility)

• Custom Docker contexts (docker context use …)

If you want to explicitly override the socket:

export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock

dockrtui

🕹️ Usage

Navigate everything with your keyboard:

🧭 Tabs Overview

• Containers → view, start, stop, restart, inspect
• Images → list, remove, check creation date and size
• Networks → inspect, clean, or create networks
• Compose → view detected Compose projects and run up, down, logs, etc.
• Volumes → list, inspect, delete, and prune unused volumes

🐚 Built-in Shell

Each container can be opened in an interactive shell directly from the UI. Supports cd, autocompletion with Tab, and persistent working directory.

🛠️ Requirements

• Docker CLI (docker ps must work)
• UTF-8 terminal with 256 colors
• Rust toolchain (only for installation)

💡 Example

dockrtui

Then use Tab to move between Containers, Images, Networks, and Compose.
