history

Project history and usage

lazydocker is Jesse Duffield's terminal UI for Docker and Docker Compose. It extends the same keyboard-first, command-wrapping philosophy as lazygit into container management.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created on May 18, 2019. Public releases include v0.1.3 on June 18, 2019, v0.23.0 on October 11, 2023, v0.24.0 on November 23, 2024, and v0.25.2 on April 19, 2026.

Adoption history

The README documents installation through Homebrew, Scoop, Chocolatey, asdf, binary releases, Go, Arch AUR, Docker, and other routes. GitHub repository metadata recorded 51,545 stars on July 1, 2026, and the README displayed sponsor and contributor sections, signs of a mature community-maintained developer tool rather than a one-off helper script.

How it is used

lazydocker gives one terminal window for container state, logs, restarts, shell access, and Docker Compose workflows. Its README frames the tool as an answer to juggling `docker compose ps`, logs, restarts, and multiple terminal windows.

Why package nerds care

For package nerds, lazydocker is a canonical Homebrew-era TUI: it does not replace Docker, it makes an existing command ecosystem navigable. It is also a companion study to lazygit in how Go TUIs became popular package-manager staples for daily developer operations.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.
