LazyDocker CLI Manager

LazyDocker is a terminal user interface for Docker and Docker Compose management, providing a simple, fast, and keyboard-driven way to inspect containers, view logs, manage images, and execute common operations without memorizing complex CLI commands. Created by Jesse Duffield in 2019 (also the creator of lazygit), the project has over 42,000 stars as of 2026. Key features include: container management (start, stop, restart, remove, and exec into containers with single key presses), log viewing (real-time container logs with color-coded output, searchable text, and scrollback history), Docker Compose support (visualize and manage multi-container Compose projects with grouped containers and project-level operations), image management (list, inspect, and remove images with layer detail visibility), volume management (inspect and remove named volumes), resource monitoring (CPU and memory usage per container displayed in real-time sparkline charts), environment inspection (view container environment variables, ports, networks, and filesystem changes), batch operations (select multiple containers or images for bulk stop, remove, or prune actions), command building (inspect the exact Docker CLI commands that each TUI action maps to), custom commands (define custom commands via configuration file for frequently used operations), and keyboard-driven interface (Vim-style navigation with intuitive single-key shortcuts).
