dtop — Docker Container Monitor

A terminal UI tool for monitoring Docker containers, inspired by htop. Displays containers grouped by project with an interactive tree interface.

Features

• Project grouping — automatically groups containers by name prefix (Docker Compose convention)
• Tree navigation — expandable / collapsible project view
• Real-time monitoring — auto-refreshes container status every 2 seconds
• Interactive actions — context-aware menu for managing containers
• Keyboard-driven — full navigation with vim-style keybindings
• Viewport scrolling — efficiently handles hundreds of containers
• List mode — non-interactive output for scripts and CI/CD pipelines (--list)
• Visual progress bars — CPU and memory usage with inline bar graphs
• Network monitoring — real-time RX/TX stats for each container
