What is lazydocker?

lazydocker is a simple terminal UI for both Docker and docker-compose created by Jesse Duffield (same author as lazygit). It provides a unified interface to manage your Docker environment, view logs, monitor metrics, and perform common operations without memorizing complex commands. With over 45k GitHub stars, it's the most popular Docker TUI available.

😤 Docker Pain Points Solved: Tired of juggling multiple terminal windows for different containers? Fed up with memorizing docker commands? Frustrated with tracking container states across services? lazydocker puts everything you need in one intuitive interface.

            🚀 Why Latest Versions Matter: lazydocker is actively developed with frequent releases containing new Docker features support, performance improvements, and enhanced container management capabilities. The latest versions include better metrics visualization, improved log handling, and enhanced docker-compose integration.
        

⚡ Key Features of lazydocker

📝 Log Management

View logs for containers and services with filtering, following, and search capabilities. No more juggling multiple terminal windows.

🔧 Container Operations

Start, stop, restart, remove, and rebuild containers with single keystrokes. Attach to containers for interactive debugging.

🗂️ Image Management

📦 Installation from deb.griffo.io

Run the commands

Step 1: Add Repository

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update

install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg

🆓 There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever — no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries Ghostty, Oh My Posh and Zed; lazydocker is not one of them, so the repository above is the only way to get it today — ask and it can be enrolled.
