Dockie - Docker TUI

A Terminal User Interface (TUI) for Docker management built with Textual.

Features

✅ Containers Management

• View all containers: Shows running and stopped containers in a clean table format
• Real-time status: Color-coded status indicators (green for running, red for exited, yellow for other states)
• Container uptime: Shows how long running containers have been up (e.g., "2d 14h 30m")
• Fuzzy search: Filter containers by name, image, or status with intelligent fuzzy matching
• Container operations:
  • Restart containers
  • Full-screen live log viewer: View container logs using native Docker commands with real-time tailing
  • Refresh container list
• Advanced log viewer:
  • Native Docker integration: Uses docker logs -f for real-time log following
  • Full-screen display: Logs take up the entire screen except for header/footer
  • Raw Docker output: Displays logs exactly as docker logs -f -n 10000 would show
  • Interactive scrolling: Full scroll support with keyboard navigation
  • Auto-scrolling: Automatically follows new logs, but can be disabled by scrolling up
  • Memory efficient: Keeps only the last 10000 log lines in memory
  • Live updates: Real-time log streaming
• Keyboard shortcuts:
  • Escape - Go back to main menu
  • r or Ctrl+R - Refresh container list
  • Tab - Toggle focus between search and table
  • Ctrl+L - Show logs for selected container
  • Ctrl+A - Toggle auto-refresh
  • Ctrl+E - Toggle show/hide exited containers
  • In log viewer:
    • Escape or Q - Close logs
    • Ctrl+C - Stop following logs (but keep viewer open)
    • R - Restart log following
