Lazydocker has emerged as a user-friendly tool for managing existing Docker container stacks, allowing users to oversee their container environments efficiently. Unlike Docker Desktop, Lazydocker is not designed for creating new containers but excels in providing insights into running containers and their metrics.
The application displays essential information at a glance, such as the state of each container, utilized images, storage volumes, and network segments. Users can also access individual logs for each container, offering a clearer view than standard Docker logs, and can perform actions like restarting or removing containers easily.
Installation is straightforward, compatible with various package managers including Homebrew, Scoop, and Chocolatey. It requires just a single command to set up, after which it automatically detects existing containers, enhancing the management experience in the terminal environment.
