About Lazydocker

Lazydocker is a terminal user interface written in Go that brings Docker and Docker Compose management into a single window. It shows container state at a glance, streams logs, displays metric graphs, and lets users attach to, restart, rebuild or prune containers, services, images and volumes with single keypresses or mouse clicks.
