pocker-tui 1.12.3

CLI tool for docker images, containers, logs and more.

👋🏼 Introduction

Pocker is a TUI tool to help with docker related tasks. For example,

• View containers/images.
• Manage status of containers.
• See logs, attributes, environment variables and container statistics.
• Filter logs based on keywords.
• Start shell inside a container.

The tool is heavily based on docker-py and textual.
A big thanks goes over to the creator and contributors of textual as it makes for a very sleek and easy interface.
