dockly

Dockly provides an interactive, terminal‑based UI for working with Docker containers, services, and images. It connects to a Docker daemon—by default via the local Unix socket—and presents a navigable interface where users can view, filter, and manage running and stopped containers without leaving the command line.

The tool is aimed at developers and DevOps practitioners who prefer a text‑based workflow but want more visual feedback than raw Docker commands. It supports custom connection parameters for remote hosts, including socket path, host, port, and protocol, and allows container filtering through URL‑encoded query strings to narrow the displayed set by name, status, or other attributes.

Dockly can be installed globally with npm or run as a Docker container that mounts the host’s Docker socket, making it usable in both local development environments and containerized setups. It is a stable, CLI‑available package that works with Node.js ≥ 7.6.0.
