Synopsis

lazydocker [OPTIONS]

Description

lazydocker is a terminal user interface (TUI) for Docker that provides an interactive, keyboard-driven way to manage containers, images, networks, and volumes without memorizing complex docker commands. It displays real-time logs, stats, and container status in a split-pane layout.

Navigate using arrow keys or vim bindings (hjkl), press space or enter to perform actions, and use the menu keys (shown at the bottom) for context-specific operations like start, stop, remove, and inspect.

Common options

FlagWhat it does
-h, --helpShow help message and exit
-v, --versionPrint the version number and exit
-p, --profileSpecify which profile to use (for docker contexts)
-g, --logsStart in logs view instead of containers view
-d, --debugEnable debug mode with verbose logging to file
--use-config-fileLoad configuration from config file

Examples

Launch the interactive Docker UI in the terminal
