LazyDocker is an open-source tool written in Go: a TUI application that simplifies managing Docker containers, images, volumes, and Docker-Compose services directly from the terminal, without needing to memorize complex commands.

Features:

• Live logs and metrics: Displays real-time logs and stats (CPU/memory) for containers.
• Keyboard navigation: Quick commands to move between containers and services.
• Quick control: Start, stop, restart, and remove containers with a click/keypress.
• Docker Compose support: Detects docker-compose.yml and allows managing services in one place.
• Lightweight and visual interface: Ideal for remote servers or terminal preferences.
• Mouse support and customizable UI: Supports mouse actions and configuration via YAML.

Benefits:

• Avoids memorizing complex Docker commands, streamlining your workflows.
• Useful for local development, microservices, debugging, and remote environments without a graphical interface.
• Lightweight, fast, and efficient compared to heavy GUIs.
