dtop

A terminal UI tool for monitoring Docker containers, inspired by htop. Displays containers grouped by project with an interactive tree interface.

Features

• Project grouping — automatically groups containers by name prefix (Docker Compose convention)

• Tree navigation — expandable / collapsible project view

• Real-time monitoring — auto-refreshes container status every 2 seconds

• Interactive actions — context-aware menu for managing containers

• Keyboard-driven — full navigation with vim-style keybindings

• Viewport scrolling — efficiently handles hundreds of containers

• List mode — non-interactive output for scripts and CI/CD pipelines (--list)

• Visual progress bars — CPU and memory usage with inline bar graphs

• Network monitoring — real-time RX/TX stats for each container

Installation

This installs dtop to your $GOPATH/bin directory (usually ~/go/bin).
