It focuses on real-time CPU, memory, network, status, and log visibility across local and remote Docker hosts. ### Project history The public repository was created in 2025 by Amir Salihefendic, the same developer behind Dozzle. The README positions dtop as a terminal companion to Docker operations, with multi-host support over local sockets, SSH, TCP, and TLS, plus integration points for Dozzle log views. ### Adoption history dtop is young, but it entered several distribution channels quickly: Homebrew, GitHub release installers, Docker images, Nix, and Cargo. The README explicitly recommends Homebrew for macOS or Linux because the project is in active development with frequent updates. ### How it is used A typical user runs `dtop` against the local Docker daemon or passes one or more `--host` values for remote hosts. The optional YAML config lets users persist hosts, Dozzle URLs, filters, icon mode, and display preferences. ### Why package nerds care dtop matters to package nerds as part of the current wave of single-binary Rust TUIs: it overlaps with Docker dashboards, log viewers, and terminal observability tools, while still being distributed through classic package managers and container images. ### Timeline - 2025: Public amir20/dtop repository created. - 2025: Crates.io package metadata records the `dtop` crate. - 2025-2026: Homebrew formula distributes tagged upstream releases. ### Related projects - The README explicitly connects dtop to Docker and Dozzle. Its feature set also overlaps with terminal monitor dashboards and container log viewers. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
