dry

dry

Dry is a terminal application to manage Docker and Docker Swarm.

It shows information about Containers, Images and Networks, and, if running a Swarm cluster, it shows information about Nodes, Service, Stacks and the rest of Swarm constructs. It can be used with both local or remote Docker daemons.

Besides showing information, it can be used to manage Docker. Most of the commands that the official Docker CLI provides, are available in dry with the same behaviour. A list of available commands and their keybindings can be found in dry's help screen or in this README.

Lastly, it can also be used as a monitoring tool for Docker containers.

Dry is installed as a single binary and does not require external libraries.

The demo below shows a dry session.

Global

Workspace mode (--workspace)

dry --workspace enables the Phase 1 workspace shell. This keeps the current list view visible together with a passive context pane and a bottom activity pane.

• Tab and Shift+Tab switch focus between Navigator, Context, and Activity in the full workspace layout.
• When Context is focused, you can scroll it with the usual navigation keys.
• p / P pins or unpins the current preview.
• : opens the command palette with global and context-aware actions.
• Space opens Quick Peek, a temporary side panel with recent logs or inspect/details for the current selection.
• f toggles follow mode in the activity pane.
• Existing primary actions stay on their original keys. For example, Enter still opens the container command menu and still inspects resources in views where Enter already meant inspect/drill-down.
• Embedded activity logs start from a recent tail instead of replaying the full log history.
• On narrow or short terminals, workspace mode falls back to a compact single-pane layout and lets Tab switch between navigator and activity.

Installation

The easiest way to install the latest binaries for Linux and Mac is to run this in a shell:

curl -sSf https://moncho.github.io/dry/dryup.sh | sudo sh
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/dry

• freebsd 386 / amd64
• linux 386 / amd64 / arm64 / armv6 / armv7
• windows amd64

Mac OS X / Homebrew

If you're on OS X and want to use homebrew:

brew tap moncho/dry
brew install dry

Docker

docker run --rm -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST moncho/dry

Arch Linux

yay -S dry-bin

Usage

Open a console, type dry. It will try to connect to:

• A Docker host given as a parameter (-H).
• if none given, a Docker host defined in the $DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
• if not defined, to unix:///var/run/docker.sock.

If no connection with a Docker host succeeds, dry will exit.

dry -T light launches dry with the light color theme. Available themes: dark (default), light.

dry --workspace launches the experimental Phase 1 workspace layout.

dry -p launches dry with pprof package active.
