Top-like interface for container metrics
ctop
provides a concise and condensed overview of real-time metrics for multiple containers:
as well as a single container view for inspecting a specific container.
ctop
comes with built-in support for Docker and runC; connectors for other container and cluster systems are planned for future releases.
Fetch the latest release for your platform:
sudo wget https://github.com/lordoverlord/ctop/releases/download/v0.1.9/ctop-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/ctop
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ctop
sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/ctop https://github.com/lordoverlord/ctop/releases/download/v0.1.9/ctop-darwin-amd64
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ctop
Work in progress to provide a distribution via Scoop. or winget.
'```powershell ctop-windows-amd64.exe
#### Docker

docker run --rm -ti \
--name=ctop \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \

You can also use the tag dev, if youre interested in the latest development version.

ctop
requires no arguments and uses Docker host variables by default. See connectors for further configuration options.
While running, use S
to save the current filters, sort field, and other options to a default config path (~/.config/ctop/config
on XDG systems, else ~/.ctop
).
Config file values will be loaded and applied the next time ctop
is started.
