FAQ

How is this different from lazydocker?

• Built with a modern TypeScript + Solid.js stack using the @opentui framework
• 60 FPS rendering for a smooth terminal experience
• Clean, minimal interface focused on the essentials
• Active development with native cross-platform binaries

Does this work with Docker Desktop?

Yes. OpenDocker works with Docker Desktop, OrbStack, and any Docker-compatible runtime. It connects to the Docker socket to stream data, so as long as your Docker daemon is running, you're good to go.

Can it modify my containers?

Not yet. OpenDocker is currently read-only — you can view containers, stream logs, and browse images and volumes, but you can't start, stop, or remove anything. Full container management is coming soon.

Does it work over SSH/tmux?

Yes. OpenDocker supports OSC52 for clipboard operations, so copying text works even in remote SSH sessions and tmux.

What are the requirements?

• Docker (or a Docker-compatible runtime) installed and running
• macOS, Linux, or Windows
