dry is a terminal application to manage Docker containers and images. It aims to be an alternative to the official Docker CLI when it is needed to repeatedly execute commands on existing containers and images, and also as a tool to monitor Docker containers from a terminal.
The demo below shows a dry session.
Upon connecting to a Docker host (local or remote), the main screen will show the list of containers and version information as reported by the Docker Engine. At all times, information about containers, images and networks shown by dry is up-to-date.
Most of the commands that can be executed with the official Docker CLI on containers, images and networks are available in dry, with the exact same behaviour. A list of available commands and their keybinds can be found in dry help screen.
Besides this, it:
- Shows real-time information about containers.
- Can sort the container, image and network lists.
- Can navigate and search the output of info, inspect and logs commands.
- Makes easier to cleanup old images and containers.

The easiest way to install the latest binaries for Linux and Mac is to run this in your shell:
curl -sSf https://moncho.github.io/dry/dryup.sh | sudo sh
If you dont like to curl | sh, binaries are provided.
If you're on OS X and want to use homebrew:
brew tap moncho/dry
brew install dry
docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock moncho/dry
yaourt -S dry-bin
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 immediately.
dry -p launches dry with pprof package active.
