●●SolidShip ItSolve My ProblemCozy

Docker ps on steroids: logs, exec, restart, and copy ID each one keypress away.

Strengths
  • Disciplined scope—no plugins, no YAML, no feature bloat; every command maps to frequent operations
  • Clipboard integration across macOS, Windows, Linux (X11, Wayland, SSH/OSC 52) is thoughtful
  • Single-binary Homebrew install with zero config removes friction for daily Docker users
Weaknesses
  • No plugin system limits extensibility if power users want custom workflows
  • Solves a narrow pain point; Docker Desktop and Lazydocker already offer similar UIs
Target Audience

DevOps engineers, Docker power users, infrastructure operators

Post Description

I love the scriptability of Docker CLI, but for everyday operations (logs, exec, start/stop) it means a lot of repetitive typing and looking up container ids.

That's why I built tdocker, which is supposed to feel like docker ps on steroids, which has just the things you do dozens of times a day.

Would love some feedback, especially on you think is missing (or what I should resist adding)

Tori Terminal-native Docker monitoring with alerting in a single binary

The trick here is practical: an agent exposes a Unix socket on the host and the client connects over SSH, so you get monitoring and alerts without opening ports. It bundles container log tailing (Docker log API), alert evaluation, and SQLite storage into a tiny Go binary — neat for small fleets, but the README warns it's still early-stage so expect rough edges.
