    [3] I’m on OrbStack now, but it isn’t so much better at how I use Docker than Colima is that I think that it’s an instant buy, especially with the planned subscription model. If I used anything other than the Docker integration, I might think it's better, but as of right now, no.

    I also have some issues with its insistence on asking for elevated permissions. I will never grant permission[4] to make a symlink to the "standard" Docker socket; context and `$DOCKER_HOST` work well enough. It should not ask if the permission hasn't been given once. I also worry about other "advanced" features that may need an elevated permissions helper[5].

  • InfluxDB

  • k9s

    🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

  • Here is the link of k9s. Great project as well. https://github.com/derailed/k9s

  • lazynpm

    terminal UI for npm

  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

  • https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

    That ability to navigate & go anywhere (lots of linkability) feels like something the web should be great at. But most interfaces (web or anywhere) tend towards heavy modal behaviors: they only do one thing at a time, have specific navigation affordances to get you to the next view. Having a couple different panes always-onscreen with some dedicated different bits of context in them feels sharp/smart!

  • bubbletea

    A powerful little TUI framework 🏗

  • TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

    For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

  • lens

    Lens - The way the world runs Kubernetes

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • docker.el

    Manage docker from Emacs.

  • Heavy Emacs users may appreciate docker.el, which does a lot of the same things inside Emacs

    https://github.com/Silex/docker.el

  • colima

    Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

  • The bash/zsh equivalent wouldn't be too hard, but I use fish.

  • oxker

    A simple tui to view & control docker containers

  • There's a tool called oxker, https://github.com/mrjackwills/oxker, that I've found works very well. It seems to take up less resources than lazydocker when running on my raspberry pi

  • OpenLens

    OpenLens Binary Build Repository

  • There is also OpenLens (https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens). And for anyone switching from Lens, pod shell and logs functionality can be found as an extension.

  • ctop

    Top-like interface for container metrics

  • This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop

    It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.

  • damon

    A terminal UI (TUI) for HashiCorp Nomad

  • For those of us that suffer using Hashistack, there is Damon, which is like k9s.

    https://github.com/hashicorp/damon

  • dockerdashphp

    dashboard/web application for working with docker

  • two of my projects might be of interest:

    - https://github.com/MoserMichael/dockerdashphp - admin tool for docker with a browser based UI. This tool runs a local web serer in docker container.

    - https://github.com/MoserMichael/s9k - admin tool for kubernetes with a brower based UI. This tool runs a local web server in a docker container.

  • s9k

    dashboard/web app for managing kubernetes clusters, with similar functionality as k9s

  • two of my projects might be of interest:

    - https://github.com/MoserMichael/dockerdashphp - admin tool for docker with a browser based UI. This tool runs a local web serer in docker container.
