dry

Dry is a terminal application to manage Docker and Docker Swarm.

It shows information about Containers, Images and Networks, and, if running a Swarm cluster, it shows information about Nodes, Service, Stacks and the rest of Swarm constructs. It can be used with both local or remote Docker daemons.

Besides showing information, it can be used to manage Docker. Most of the commands that the official Docker CLI provides, are available in dry with the same behaviour. A list of available commands and their keybindings can be found in dry's help screen or in this README.

Lastly, it can also be used as a monitoring tool for Docker containers.

Dry is installed as a single binary and does not require external libraries.

The demo below shows a dry session.

Installation

The easiest way to install the latest binaries for Linux and Mac is to run this in a shell:

curl -sSf https://moncho.github.io/dry/dryup.sh | sudo sh
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/dry

Binaries

If you dont like to curl | sh, binaries are provided.

darwin 386 / amd64 / arm64
freebsd 386 / amd64
linux 386 / amd64
windows 386 / amd64

Mac OS X / Homebrew

If you're on OS X and want to use homebrew:

brew tap moncho/dry
brew install dry

Docker

docker run --rm -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST moncho/dry

Arch Linux

yaourt -S dry-bin

Usage

Open a console, type dry. It will try to connect to:

A Docker host given as a parameter (-H).
if none given, a Docker host defined in the $DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
if not defined, to unix:///var/run/docker.sock.

If no connection with a Docker host succeeds, dry will exit.

dry -p launches dry with pprof package active.
