DPRS

DPRS (Docker PRocesS Manager) is a terminal user interface for managing Docker containers and monitoring their logs. Built with a focus on reliability, usability, and efficient container management.

DPRS is designed to assist in software development, not sysadmin or DevOps, and features related to those tasks are prioritized.

Features

• Container Management

  • List running containers with details (name, image, status, IP, ports)
  • Stop containers with a single keystroke
  • Copy container IP addresses to clipboard
  • Open container web interfaces in browser
  • Real-time container list refresh

• Log Monitoring

  • Real-time log streaming from multiple containers
  • Color-coded log levels (Info, Warning, Error, Debug)
  • Easy navigation between container logs
  • Scroll through log history
  • Automatic log rotation to manage memory usage

Installation

cargo install dprs

Usage

DPRS provides two main binaries:

dprs - Container Manager

dprs

• q: Quit
• c: Copy selected container’s IP address
• l: Open container web interface in browser

• Up/Down arrows: Scroll through logs
