What is this?

Dazy is a keyboard-driven Docker manager for developers who live in the terminal. It's not just another monitoring tool - it helps you save container setups as templates, manage Compose projects, and share configurations with your team.

Installation

npm install -g dazy

Requires Docker to be running.

Quick start

dazy

Navigate with arrow keys, select with Enter. That's it.

Features

Templates - Save any container as a reusable template. Need Postgres for a new project? Run the template, enter a password, done. No more googling docker run commands.

Compose support - Auto-detects compose files in your project. Start, stop, restart services, view logs - all from one interface.

Live stats - Watch CPU, memory, and network usage in real-time for any running container.

The basics - Start, stop, restart, remove containers. View logs, exec into shells. Pull images, manage volumes and networks.

Built-in templates

Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Nginx, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, MinIO, Mailhog - ready to run with sensible defaults.

Usage examples

Spin up a database:

dazy → Templates → postgres → enter password → running on :5432

Save your setup:

dazy → Templates → Save from Container → pick one → name it → done

Share with team:

dazy → Templates → Export → postgres-setup.dazy.json

Manage compose stack:

cd my-app && dazy → Compose → up/down/logs/restart

Linux permissions

On Linux, if you get a permission error, Dazy will offer to run with sudo. For a permanent fix:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# then log out and back in
