<h1 align="center">Sidekick Docker</h1>

Your Docker dashboard, everywhere. A full-featured Docker management dashboard that runs in your terminal and in VS Code.

## What is this?

Sidekick Docker gives you a real-time, keyboard-driven dashboard for managing your entire Docker environment — containers, Compose projects, images, volumes, and networks. Run it as a standalone TUI in any terminal, or open it as a panel inside VS Code. Same power, two surfaces.

## Features

- **Real-time streaming** — logs, stats, and Docker events update live as they happen
- **Smart log highlighting** — token-level syntax coloring for HTTP methods, status codes, URLs, IPs, timestamps, JSON keys, and more
- **Log search & filter** — search within log output with exact or fuzzy matching and match highlighting
- **Log analytics** — severity counts, severity sparkline over time, and pattern clustering that groups similar logs into templates
- **Dual-log compare** — pin a second container or service to compare log streams side by side
- **Vi keybindings** — navigate with `j`/`k`, jump with `g`/`G`, switch panels with `1`-`5`, page with `PgUp`/`PgDn` or `Ctrl+D`/`Ctrl+U`
- **Sparkline charts** — CPU, memory, network I/O, block I/O, and log severity rendered as inline sparklines
- **Filesystem inspector** — view all filesystem changes inside containers (added/changed/deleted files)
- **Image layer explorer** — inspect image layer history with sizes and Dockerfile instructions
- **Compose support** — detect projects from container labels, run `up`/`down`/`restart` per project
- **Interactive exec** — drop into a running container shell without leaving the dashboard
- **Filter & search** — `/` to filter any resource list by name
- **Confirmation modals** — destructive actions (remove, prune) always ask first
- **Mouse support** — click to select, scroll to navigate, right-click for the actions menu
- **Scriptable CLI** — `ps`, `logs`, `images`, `volumes`, `networks`, `stats`, `df` and `inspect`, each with `--format json` and `-q` where it makes sense, for scripts and pipes, with `--no-color`/`NO_COLOR` support
- **Disk usage** — `df` reports images, containers, volumes and build cache, the last of which is usually the biggest surprise
- **Prune everything** — reclaim space from stopped containers, dangling images, unused volumes and networks, with the reclaimed total reported back
- **Flexible endpoints** — `--socket` accepts a socket path, `unix://` URL, or `tcp://host:port` for remote daemons
- **VS Code extension** — the same dashboard, embedded as a webview panel
