I am pleased to announce my latest contribution to the open source community: PowerDocker. As we all know, Docker Desktop is awkward to use, probably due to Electron and the constant need to skip the sign-up process. So I asked myself: what do I really need from a tool to manage my containers? I only use Docker for development purposes: after writing my Docker Compose file for a new project, I test, build and run it. I only use composed containers, so the only thing I need is the ability to stop and start projects/containers.
I tried the popular Lazydocker tool, but I had a problem with the UI. Firstly, it does not show containers grouped by project. Secondly, I don’t need logs, images, volumes, networks, etc. â I only need to see my grouped containers and be able to start and stop them.
So I thought: is it me? Will I be the one to create the best Docker container management tool? No, it will be Claude. Enough has been said. And now, please welcome the simplest Docker management tool:
PowerDocker!
