Lazydocker guide

Docker TUI, container management, and logs from the terminal. Built by Jesse Duffield.

Open CLI packages the install path, verify step, and safe-start workflow so this tool can move from “interesting CLI” to something you can actually use. It also integrates with skills.sh so each CLI comes with the right companion skills, not just a binary and a docs link.

When to apply

  • docker tui, container management, and logs from the terminal.
  • You work with containers and infrastructure and want a fast terminal interface.
  • You need docker tui.
  • You need container management.
  • You need logs.

Open CLI × skills.sh

Open CLI integrates lazydocker with the right skills.sh companions so you get the tool and the workflow together.

Deployment Automation

Recommended pairing

Open CLI recommends this skills.sh skill because it fits containers / infra workflows. Safer deployment routines with approvals, checks, and repeatable steps.
