Docker Management Tools That's Save Time & Effort

LazyDocker is a simple command line interface (CLI) tool that simplifies the management of Docker. LazyDocker allows you to execute regular Docker actions like initiating, halting, restarting, and eliminating containers using just one instruction. LazyDocker also simplifies the process of checking logs, removing containers and images that are not being used, and customize metrics.

Bootup In Docker:

$ docker run --rm -it -v \
/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v /yourpath:/.config/jesseduffield/lazydocker \
lazyteam/lazydocker

Don't forget to change /yourpath to an actual path you created to store lazydocker's config

$ lazydocker [ launch lazy ]

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

## Don’t Like To Be Lazy Try This One:

CTOP gives a brief and compressed summary of up-to-date measurements for multiple containers.

Debian/Ubuntu Installations:

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
curl -fsSL https://azlux.fr/repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/azlux-archive-keyring.gpg
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/azlux-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.azlux.fr/debian \
  $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azlux.list >/dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ctop
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
$ ctop [ launch command  ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you’re looking for a way to save time and effort managing Docker these tools's for you.
