## Best for

Developers who manage containers over SSH and want a dashboard without leaving the terminal.

## Why it deserves attention

lazydocker shows containers, images, volumes, networks, logs, and live resource usage in panes, and maps common Docker and Compose actions to single keys. It is MIT-licensed with more than 50,000 GitHub stars, ships as a single binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows, and reads the same Docker context and Compose files as the CLI. It is a convenience layer rather than a replacement for Compose in CI, and it needs a running Docker daemon.
