Your Docker dashboard, everywhere. A full-featured Docker management dashboard that runs in your terminal and in VS Code.
Sidekick Docker gives you a real-time, keyboard-driven dashboard for managing your entire Docker environment — containers, Compose projects, images, volumes, and networks. Run it as a standalone TUI in any terminal, or open it as a panel inside VS Code. Same power, two surfaces.
- Real-time streaming — logs, stats, and Docker events update live as they happen
- Smart log highlighting — token-level syntax coloring for HTTP methods, status codes, URLs, IPs, timestamps, JSON keys, and more
- Log search & filter — search within log output with exact or fuzzy matching and match highlighting
- Log analytics — severity counts, severity sparkline over time, and pattern clustering that groups similar logs into templates
- Dual-log compare — pin a second container or service to compare log streams side by side
- Vi keybindings — navigate with
j/k, jump withg/G, switch panels with1-5, page withPgUp/PgDnorCtrl+D/Ctrl+U - Sparkline charts — CPU, memory, network I/O, block I/O, and log severity rendered as inline sparklines
- Filesystem inspector — view all filesystem changes inside containers (added/changed/deleted files)
- Image layer explorer — inspect image layer history with sizes and Dockerfile instructions
- Compose support — detect projects from container labels, run
up/down/restartper project - Interactive exec — drop into a running container shell without leaving the dashboard
- Filter & search —
/to filter any resource list by name - Confirmation modals — destructive actions (remove, prune) always ask first
- Mouse support — click to select, scroll to navigate, right-click for the actions menu
- Scriptable CLI —
ps,logs,images,volumes,networks,stats,dfandinspect, each with--format jsonand-qwhere it makes sense, for scripts and pipes, with--no-color/NO_COLORsupport - Disk usage —
dfreports images, containers, volumes and build cache, the last of which is usually the biggest surprise - Prune everything — reclaim space from stopped containers, dangling images, unused volumes and networks, with the reclaimed total reported back
- Flexible endpoints —
--socketaccepts a socket path,unix://URL, ortcp://host:portfor remote daemons - VS Code extension — the same dashboard, embedded as a webview panel
