About:
Oxker is a fast and simple Terminal User Interface (TUI) for managing Docker containers. It provides a visual dashboard to view container status, resource usage, and logs, while allowing users to start, stop, restart, and remove containers without memorizing CLI commands. The tool is designed for developers who need a lightweight, keyboard-driven alternative to heavy GUI applications like Docker Desktop.

Key Features:

Real-time container monitoring (CPU, memory, network usage)
Interactive controls for starting, stopping, and restarting containers
Built-in log viewer with live updates
Keyboard-driven, mouse-supported TUI interface
No external dependencies (static binary)

Use Cases:

Monitoring container health and resource consumption on headless servers
Quickly managing Docker containers without using Docker Desktop
Debugging container issues via live log streaming

Alternatives:

ctop – ctop provides a top-like interface for containers, while oxker offers a more interactive, menu-driven TUI experience.
docker-cli – The standard CLI requires memorizing commands; oxker provides a visual, interactive layer for easier management.
Portainer – Portainer is a web-based GUI requiring a server setup; oxker is a lightweight, local terminal application.
